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.
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 compatible equipment.

If the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone number in your directory, the
name that appears on the screen will match the
corresponding 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.
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the
format sent by the phone company. The phone company
usually delivers ten-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

Battery
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone
base can communicate over only a certain distance ----which can vary with the
locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of
your home or office. When the handset is out of range, the handset will display
CONNECTING. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of
the menu system, i.e. handset setting, but not the time setting and telephone
base setting. NOT AVAILABLE will be displayed if access is denied.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does
ring, the call might not connect well when you press PHONE/FLASH. Move
closer to the telephone base, then press PHONE/FLASH to answer the call. If
the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might
be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone 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 the telephone
base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
• Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take 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 the telephone base 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.

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 telephone 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 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: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet 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.
• 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.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle Nickel-metal 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-metal Batteries.

Important safety instructions
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz 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.
