Caller ID operation
Shared caller ID log
The caller ID log is stored in the telephone base,
and is shared by all handsets. Changes made on
any handset will apply to all.
NOTES: Only one handset can review the directory or call-
er ID log at a time. If the other handset attempts to enter the
call log, its screen willl display NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
How caller ID works
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by
your local telephone company, information about
each caller will be displayed between the first and
second ring.
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is
stored in the call log. You can review the call log
to find out who has called and easily return the
call or copy the caller’s name and number into the
directory.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is delet-
ed to make room for new incoming call informa-
tion.
If a call is answered before the information
appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the
call log.
NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and the
caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both tele-
phone companies use compatible equipment.

Caller ID operation
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if the infor-
mation is provided by your local telephone com-
pany.
If the telephone number of the caller matches
an exact number in the directory, the name that
appears on screen will match the name already in
the directory.
(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will
appear as Chris if this is how it was entered in the
directory.)
NOTE: The number shown in your caller ID will be in the
format sent by the telephone company. The telephone compa-
ny usually delivers ten-digit telephone numbers (area code
plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the per-
son calling does not exactly match a number in your directory,
the name will appear as delivered by the telephone company.
For example if the telephone company includes the area code
and the directory number does not, the name will appear as
delivered by the telephone company.
Missed calls
When a handset is in idle mode with unreviewed
calls, its screen will show XX MISSED CALLS.
Unreviewed entries will be counted as missed calls
when the telephone is idle. Each time a call log
entry marked NEW is reviewed, the number of
missed calls decreases by one.
If there are too many missed calls and you
don’t want to review them one by one but still
want to keep them in the caller ID log, press
and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the
handset is idle. All reviewed entries in the call-
er ID log will be considered old and the counter
is reset to 0.

Appendix
Important safety instructions
Especially about cordless telephones
•Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the handset by
radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could
be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset.
For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone conversations as
being as private as those on corded phones.
•Electrical power: The base unit of this cordless telephone must be connected
to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by
a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the base unit is
unplugged or 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 base unit 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 either nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order
not to short the battery with conducting 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. Do not burn or puncture. Like
other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic mate-
rial which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect
and recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States.
These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call
1 (800) 8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries.
•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.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multi-
disciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,
WTR had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other
persons using wireless phones.
Especially about telephones answering systems

Appendix
FCC Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class
B digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules.
These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio
frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the
intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to comply with
the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely held against the ear of the user. The base
unit shall be installed and used such that parts of the user’s body other than the hands
are maintained at a distance of approximately 20 cm (8 inches) or more. If you choose
to use a clipping device, please make sure to only use the supplied AT&T belt clip.
