About caller ID information
The caller ID with call waiting features in this telephone let you see who is calling before answering
the call, even when 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, or
• you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them now.
You can use this telephone 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 these services may not be available in all areas.
The 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.
Dial mode
If you have touch-tone service, your telephone is ready to use as soon as the battery is charged. If
you have pulse (rotary) service, the dial mode must be changed. Press /FLASH and there should be
a dial tone. If not, refer to the Set dial mode section on page 20.

2. Disconnect the handset battery, and spare battery, if applicable.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Connect power to the base unit.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the base.
Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your base unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or
cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If your base unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

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 cordless 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 cordless 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 televisions 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 father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless phones only).
•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-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.
