95About caller IDThis product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.Information about caller ID with call waitingCaller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:  You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are from the telephone service provider.Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. You can only view a maximum of 15 digits of every caller ID log entry. NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. •••Caller ID
Caller ID96Caller ID logHow the caller ID log worksThe telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to the telephone base and all handsets,so changes made using any handset or the telephone base are reflected in all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID log.NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.Missed (new) call indicatorWhen a handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one. If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but still want to keep them in the caller ID log, you can press and hold OFF/CLEAR on thehandset for four seconds when the handset is idle, or press and holdCANCEL on the telephone base for four seconds when the telephone baseis idle. You will hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID logbecome old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.Memory matchIf the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory. For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering system122About the answering systemAnswering system and voicemail indicatorsYour telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in digital answering system and those left at your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently. If  and XX New msgs show on the handset and XX New messages shown on the telephone base, there are new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press  /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 126).If   and New voicemail display on the handset and the telephone base, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider. To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off theanswering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate thevoicemail service. ••
Answering system123About the answering systemUsing the answering machine and voicemail togetherYou can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers, as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.Message capacityThe answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes(see Recording time on page 121), and the maximum recording time isapproximately 22 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the number of messages stored shows in the message counter.If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three minutes to record.”If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,”before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

Appendix161Important safety informationEspecially about cordless telephonesPrivacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.The RBRC® Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States.
