Before you begin
About Caller Identification
Caller ID with Call Waiting features in
this telephone let you see who’s calling
before you answer the phone, even
when you’re on another call. These
features require services provided by
your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service
provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call
Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or
only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller
ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this phone with regular
Caller ID service, and you can use its
other features without subscribing to
either Caller ID or combined Caller ID
with Call Waiting service. There may
be fees for these services, and they
may not be available in all areas.
Caller ID features will work only if
both you and the caller are in areas
offering Caller ID service, and if both
telephone companies use compatible
equipment.
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on
page 20, for more details about how
these features work.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates with
the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, this handset and base
can communicate over only a certain
distance — which can vary with the
locations of the base and handset, the
weather, and the construction of your
home or office. For best performance,
install the telephone base away from
electronic equipment, such as personal
computers, television sets or
microwave ovens
If you receive a call while you are
out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press L1/L2.
Move closer to the base, then press
L1/L2 to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a
phone conversation, you might hear
noise or interference. To improve
reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without
pressing OFF, your phone will be left
“off the hook.” To hang up properly,
walk back toward the telephone base,
periodically pressing OFF until the call
is disconnected.

Phonebooks
Handset and base phonebooks
There are separate phonebook directories in the hand-
set and the base.
Each phonebook can store up to 50 entries. Each entry
can contain a number up to 32 digits, and a name up to
16 letters long. A convenient search feature can help
you find and dial numbers quickly (see page 18).
The procedure for entering, editing and dialing phone-
book entries is the same for both the handset and the

Timeouts and error tones
If you pause for too long while making an entry the pro-
cedure will time out and you will have to begin again.
If all memory locations are in use, an error tone will
sound when you attempt to enter a new number. This
means the memory is full, and you will not be able to
store a new number until you delete an existing one.

Caller ID Logs
How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your
local phone company, information about each caller will
be displayed after the first ring.
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is stored in
your call log. You can review the call log to find out
who has called, return the call without dialing, or copy
the caller’s name and number into your phonebook.
Each log entry is numbered (number 1 is always the most
recent). When the call log is full, the oldest entry is
deleted to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in your call log.
Handset and base call logs
There are separate Caller ID logs in the handset and
the base.
Each call log can store up to 50 entries. Each entry can
contain a number up to 14 digits, and a name up to 16
letters long.
The procedure for viewing, dialing, deleting and trans-
ferring call log entries to your phonebook is the same
for both the handset and the base.
Handset: 50 entries
Base: 50 entries
