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.

• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly
(page 9). For optimum daily performance, return the
cordless handset to the telephone base after use.
• Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an
outlet not connected to a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into
the telephone base and the modular wall jack.
• Unplug the telephone’s electrical power. Wait for
approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow
up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to
synchronize.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least
16 hours.
• Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not
work, it may be necessary to purchase a new battery.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack
and plug in a working telephone. If this telephone does
not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the
local service. Call the local telephone company.

• Place the handset in the telephone base for recharging.
The CHARGE light on the handset should be on as soon
as the handset is properly placed on the telephone
base. If the handset has not been used for a long
time or if the battery inside is completely depleted.
Depending on the strength of the battery in the handset,
it may take up to 10 minutes before the handset screen
shows NEEDS CHARGING.
• Remove and re-install the battery and use it normally
until fully discharged, then recharge the handset on the
telephone base for 16 hours.
• If the above measures do not correct the problem, the
battery may need to be replaced.

• The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone
base. Move it closer to the telephone base.
• There may be too many extension telephones on
the telephone line to allow all of them to ring
simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the
same problem, the problem is in the wiring or local
service. Contact the local telephone company (charges
may apply).
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your
cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far
away as possible from the following electronic devices:
wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers,
cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room
monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen
appliances, and other cordless telephones.
• Test a working telephone at the same telephone jack. If
another telephone has the same problem, the problem
is in the telephone jack. Contact your local telephone
company (charges may apply).
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try
installing a new telephone line cord.
• Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset in
the telephone base.
• Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the

Troubleshooting
I cannot dial
out.
• First, try all the suggestions in The telephone does not
ring when there is an incoming call, on the previous
page.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is
normal if the cordless handset takes a second or two to
synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial
tone. Wait an extra second before dialing.
• Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode
(pulse dial or tone dial) for the service in your area.
Refer to the Dial mode section of this user’s manual
(page 11) to set the dial mode.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television,
radio, or other appliances may cause the telephone
to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the
background noise, first try muting the cordless handset
before dialing, or dialing from another room in your
home with less background noise.
There is noise
or interference
during a
telephone
conversation.
• The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the
telephone base.
My calls fade
out or cut in
and out when
I am using

• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into
the same circuit as the telephone base can cause
interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone
base to another outlet.
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your
cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone as far
away as possible from the following electronic devices:
wireless routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers,
cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms, room
monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen
appliances, and other cordless telephones.
• Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as
your telephone. It is normal to experience static on your
telephone while the microwave oven is operating. Do
not install this telephone in the same outlet or near a

Appendix C
Troubleshooting
• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or
a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/
surge protector) into a different location. If this
doesn't solve the problem, re-locate your telephone
or modem farther apart from each other, or use a
different surge protector.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting
the operating range. Try moving the telephone base
to another location, preferably a higher location for
better reception.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular
jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still
not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or
local service. Contact your local service company
(charges may apply).
• Select channels four through 10 for your router
(refer to the user’s manual of your router for more
information).
• If the other telephones in your home are having
the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or
local service. Contact the local telephone company
(charges may apply).
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service
(Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your
telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between
the telephone base and the telephone wall jack (see

Appendix D
Important safety instructions
Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient
create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the
telephone base and 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. 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 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 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 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
