Each cordless handset has its own directory. Each
directory can store up to 30 entries (including
nine speed dial locations). Each entry can contain
a number up to 24 digits, and a name up to 15
letters long. A convenient search feature can help
you find and dial numbers quickly (see page 22).
NOTES: Each cordless handset has its own directory. Making changes to the directory of one handset will not effect the directories of the other
handsets.
Timeouts and error messages
MEMORY FULL
If you pause for too long while creating an entry,
the procedure will time out and you will have to
begin again.
If all memory locations are in use, the screen
will display MEMORY FULL. You will not be able
to store a new number until an existing one is
deleted.

Directory
NOTE: The speed dial feature
occupies up to nine of the thirty memory
locations in the directory. For example,
if there are only five speed dial entries,
then up to 25 entries can be stored in
the directory. If there are already 30
entries in the directory, no new directory
and speed dial entries can be stored in
memory until some of the existing ones
are deleted.

Caller ID log
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.
CHRISTINE SMITH
908-555-0100
10:08AM
02/14
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 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, 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.

both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
Call number
of call log
Appears when the
call is missed and
un-reviewed.
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 information is provided by your local telephone company.
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 numbers (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 company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will
appear as delivered by the phone company.

UNKNOWN CALLER
Your local telephone company is unable
to determine the caller's name and telephone number. Calls from other countries
may also generate this message.
Missed calls
When 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 telephone 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.

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 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.
• 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.

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.
