24Caller ID logInformation 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 when on another call.It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your tel-ephone 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, and they 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.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM 02/14908-555-0100

25Caller ID operationCaller ID logHow 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, return the call, or copy the caller’s name and number into directory.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 the call log.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 matches an exact number in your directory, the name that appears on screen will match the name in your directory. (Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.)NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by the phone company. The phone company usually delivers 10-digit phone num-bers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the person calling does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company. For example if the phone compa-ny includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company. NOTE: 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 compati-ble equipment.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM 02/14908-555-0100Caller’s nameCaller’s phone numberTime of callCall number of call log Appears when the call is missed and un-reviewed.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM 02/14908-555-010002Date of call

Calls from other countries may also generate this message.Missed callsWhen a handset is in idle mode and has calls that have not been reviewed, its screen will show XX MISSED CALLS. Any entries which have not been reviewed 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 call log, press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID log will be considered old (have been reviewed), and the missed calls counter is reset to 0.NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by the telephone company. The telephone company usually delivers ten-digit tele-phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the incoming telephone number 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 with the area code.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM 02/14908-555-0100HANDSET 110:08AM 02/144 MISSED CALLS

37AppendixImportant safety instructionsEspecially 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 con-nected 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 frequen-cies 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 material which could cause injury.The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an indus-try 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 loca-tions 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.

38AppendixImportant safety instructionsPrecautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac 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 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 systemsTwo-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded.
