108About caller IDThis product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information appears after the first or second ring.Information about caller ID with call waitingCaller 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 service provider 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 do not 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.Caller ID information is available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. A call log entry can show a maximum number of 24 digits.NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.•••Caller ID          NEWCHRISTINE SMITH888-883-244510:01AM    11/23  DELETE   SAVE            NEWCHRISTINE SMITH888-883-244510:01AM      11/23 DELETE      SAVE
109Caller IDCaller ID operationHow the caller ID history (call log) worksThe telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in each call log (line 1, line 2, Cell A and Cell B) in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The system deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handset(s) and the telephone base, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the call log.Missed call indicatorThe handset and telephone base display XX Missed when they are in idle mode and have missed or new calls.All new missed calls that have not been reviewed are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call log entry with the icon NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one.To clear the missed call indicator, see Display alerts  on pages 33 and 43.

117About the answering systemAnswering system and voicemailYour telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those recorded in your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.If Voicemail and   display on the cordless handset and telephone base, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you on the respective line. To listen to your voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code  or PIN.Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider.To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers, as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.Answering system

152AppendixImportant safety informationEspecially about corded telephonesPrivacy: 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, 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 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-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. You may also call 1-800-8-BATTERY® for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.RBRC® and 1-800-8-BATTERY® are registered trademarks of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac 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.
