Caller ID summary
Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID function with call
waiting feature which works with service from
your local telephone company.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering
the telephone, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone
service to use this feature. Contact your telephone
company 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 do not have any caller ID or call waiting
services.
This product can be used with regular caller ID
service, or this product’s other features can be used
without subscribing to either caller ID or combined
caller ID with call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,
services may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the
caller’s number or the caller’s name and number.
This product can provide information only if both
you and the caller are in areas offering caller
ID service and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment. The time and date are
sent by the telephone company along with the
call information.

Caller ID summary
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 30 incoming calls is
stored in the call summary. You can review the call
summary to find out who has called, return the call,
or copy the caller’s name and number into direc-
tory.
When the call summary is full, the oldest entry is
deleted to make room for new incoming call infor-
mation.
If you answer a call before the information appears
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call sum-
mary.
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if the infor-
mation is provided by your local telephone com-
pany.
If the incoming telephone number exactly matches
a telephone number in your directory, the name
that appears on the screen will match the corre-
sponding name in your directory.
For example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will
appear as CHRIS if this is how you entered it into
your directory.

NOTES:
1.
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.
2. The number shown by your
caller ID will be in the for-
mat sent by the telephone
company. The telephone
company usually delivers
10-digit telephone numbers
(area code plus telephone
number). If the telephone
number of the person call-
ing does not exactly match a
number in your directory, the
name will appear as deliv-
ered by the telephone com-
pany. For example if the tele-
phone company includes the
area code and the directory
number does not, the name
will appear as delivered by
the telephone company.

Important safety instructions
Especially About Cordless Telephones
•Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone conve-
nient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between
the telephone base and handset by radio waves, so there is a possibil-
ity 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. The electrical outlet should not be
controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the
telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
•Power adapter: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical
wall outlet or a floor outlet.
•Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-
ference, 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 either Nickel-Cadmium or
Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batter-
ies 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 material 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.

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 multidisciplinary 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 telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such
as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from
other persons using wireless telephones.
Especially about telephones answering systems
Two-way recording: This telephone does not sound warning beeps to let
the other party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you
are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording
a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform
the other party that you are recording the call.

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 reason-
able 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 instructions, may cause harm-
ful 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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications
may not be ensured when using this telephone.
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 telephone base 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.
