This product supports caller ID services provided
by most local telephone service companies.
Depending on your service subscription, you may
see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and
number which are sent by the telephone company
after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you
to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
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 to combine
these services).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call
waiting service.
• You don't subscribe to caller ID or call waiting
services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,
services may not be available in all areas.
NOTE: You can use this
product with regular
caller ID service, or you
can use this product’s
other features without
subscribing to either
caller ID or combined
caller ID with call
waiting service.
Depending on your service, you may see the
caller’s phone 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.

The caller ID history stores information about the
last 50 incoming calls. Review the caller ID history
to find out who called, to easily return the call, or
to copy the caller’s name and number into your
directory.
The phone deletes the earliest entry when the log
is full to make room for new calls.
If you answer a call before the information
appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the
caller ID history.
The caller ID history is stored in the telephone
base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes made
on any one handset will be reflected in all.
NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID
history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter
the directory or caller ID history, it will display NOT

If the incoming telephone number exactly matches

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 caller
does not exactly match a number in your directory, the
name will appear as it is 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.

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 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

Appendix F
Important safety information
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 the 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 which is not 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.
•
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 create a short circuit with conductive 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 them 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-hydride 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 1-800-8BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.

Important safety information
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 recommends 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 telephone answering systems:
