A b out caller ID
The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even when already on a
call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.
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; or
you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to
subscribe.
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.

M aintenance
T ak ing care of your teleph one
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
A v oid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
A v oid w ater
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.
E lectrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your teleph one
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 the water. If the telephone base should
fall into the water, DO NO T RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YO U UNPLUG THE PO WER CO RD AND TELEPHO NE LINE CO RDS FRO M THE WALL.
Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

P riv acy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between
the telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the 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.
E lectrical pow er: 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 cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched
off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
P otential T V 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 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.
R ech argeab le b atteries: 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 conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause harm. O bserve proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
N ick el-metal h yd rid e rech argeab le b atteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like
other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.

Ab out caller ID
The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even when already on a
call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.
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, or
you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to
subscribe.
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.

Operating range
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
w eather, and the lay ou t of y ou r hom e or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display CON N ECTIN G ...
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 /FLASH.
Move closer to the telephone base, then press /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
Tak ing care of your teleph one
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Av oid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Av oid w ater
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 electrical
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your teleph one
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 the water. If the telephone base should
fall into the water, DO NO T RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YO U UNPLUG THE PO WER CO RD AND TELEPHO NE LINE CO RDS FRO M THE WALL.
Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Ab out cord less teleph ones
Priv acy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between
the telephone base and the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the 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 pow er: 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 cordless 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 televisions 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.
Rech argeab le b atteries: 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 conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause harm. O bserve proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
N ick el-metal h yd rid e rech argeab le b atteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture the battery. Like
other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
