Caller ID
About Caller ID
This product supports caller ID services that most local telephone service provider offers. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from 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, while on another call.
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition, this service
might be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call waiting)
by different local telephone service provider and might not be available in all
areas.
It might 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
might need to combine these services)
• You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service provider use
compatible equipment. The time and date are from the telephone service
provider along with the call information.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers
may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
NOTES:
1. 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.
2. The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you set
(See the Area codes section on page X of the manual for explanations and setting instructions of
area codes).

Caller ID
Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 50 incoming calls
in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order.
The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for
new calls. This information is shared by the telephone base and all system
handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen,
it does not show in the caller ID history.
Review the caller ID history to determine who called, to easily return the call,
or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.
NEW CALL indicator lights and XX missed call(s) appears
if there are new call log entries (including missed and
unreviewed calls).
*:Base
3 missed calls
11:30PM 12/31
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and
phone number are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the phone
rings, or until the caller hangs up, or until the call has been
answered at another extension, or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the time
and date each time new call information is received. You can also set the
time and date yourself (see Time adjustment on page X).

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a telephone
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the
corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format from the telephone service
provider. It usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the
telephone number of the caller is not an exact match with a number in your directory, the
name appears from the telephone service provider records. For example, if the phone
company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as
delivered by the phone company.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When the telephone base is in idle mode and has unreviewed calls, its screen
shows XX missed call(s).
All unreviewed entries 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. When all the
entries in the caller ID history become old (have been
reviewed), the system removes the missed calls alert from
the display, and the NEW CALL indicator turns off.

About the answering system
Your telephone has a digital answering system, including an auto attendant
and voicemail features, to select a desired answering method for incoming
calls. You can have a customized answering system setup for each phone line.
You can manage all voicemail messages of phone line through the general
mailbox feature on the telephone base.
Answering system capacity
You can record up to five new announcements to have different
announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
Auto attendant and voicemail announcements both require system memory
to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to leave
more space for messages.
The answering system can record up to 255 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes.
Messages remain available for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, you cannot record new messages until old ones
have been deleted.
Check Remaining space (see page X) frequently to keep maintain availability
of space for incoming messages.
Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone base
• Turn on the answering system
You can turn the answering system on as either an auto attendant feature
mode or voicemail mode.
Please refer to Turn on the auto attendant on page X.
Please refer to Turn on the mailbox on page X.
• Turn off the answering system
You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the answering
system does not answer calls and record incoming messages.

About the auto attendant
If you want your telephone base to automatically answer incoming calls for
your system, to announce the directory, and to enable your callers to record
central system messages, you need to customize Auto attendant setup (see
page X).
If the auto attendant is active and is answering or directing a call or playing
or recording an announcement or message, the LINE (1-4) light flashes
sequentially (page X). To interrupt the auto attendant, press the flashing
LINE (1-4) key to talk to the caller on that line, or press any other LINE (14) key to disconnect this call and make a new call on another line.
An auto attendant assigned to a phone line can only answer one call at
a time, so you might want to have more than one auto attendant in your
system so that even when a call on one line is being answered, a second
auto attendant telephone can answer another ringing line. You can designate
up to 4 auto attendants in your system.
NOTES:
1. Only outside calls are answered by an auto attendant.
2. The auto attendant phone does not answer calls when the phone is being used for setup, message
review, call history review, or a phone call.

Auto attendant operation
Using multiple auto attendants
You can set one or more phone lines to act as auto attendant(s) when the
primary auto attendant is turned off or busy.
An auto attendant is busy when someone at that extension is doing any of
the following:
• programming the phone
• accessing messages
• on an intercom call
• dialing from the directory or call history
• using any of the lines to make or answer a call
• when the answer system is recording a message at that extension
You can choose a particular phone line to always be the primary auto
attendant by setting that line to have the shortest auto attendant pickup
delay (number of rings) and setting the pickup delays of other auto
attendants for you to choose. If the auto attendant pickup delays are the
same, incoming calls might be distributed randomly to the auto attendants.
Auto attendant sequence for callers
When you set this telephone base to be an auto attendant, it automatically
picks up a ringing line after the number of rings you
programmed (see Number of rings on pageX), and plays the *:Base

appropriate auto attendant announcement.
11:30PM 12/31
AuAt
When a caller enters a correct extension number after
hearing the announcement, the auto attendant transfers the call to that
extension and announces to the caller, “Calling that extension. Please wait.”
The auto attendant continues to monitor the call after it is transferred. If
the extension is set to use mailbox, the mailbox answers and can record
an incoming extension message. If neither the requested extension nor its
mailbox picks up within XX seconds, the auto attendant announces, “That
extension is not answering. Enter a new extension number, or , to leave a
central message in the general mailbox, please dial nine.” The auto attendant
attempts to transfer the call up to five times. If the call is not picked up by
any extension during those attempts, the call is dropped.
NOTES:
1. If someone at the requested extension picks up the call and subsequently places the call on hold
65
Answering system

again, that extension must pick up the call again within X minutes or the call is dropped. The XX
minutes restarts each time and same call is placed on hold.
2. If the memory is full or the auto attendant is turned off on the extension, no extension messages
can be recorded in the general mailbox.
If the caller presses 0 after hearing the message, the auto-attendant
directory plays. The caller can then decide whether to enter an extension
number or not, and the auto attendant responds as described above.
If the caller does not enter an extension number after hearing the
announcement, the auto attendant waits about X seconds, then transfers
the call to extension X. If the call is not picked up after X seconds, the auto
attendant answers the call again, and plays “That extension is not answering.
Enter a new extension number, or , to leave a central message in the general
mailbox, please dial nine.” and wait X seconds for the entry. If the caller still
hasn’t extered an extension number after hearing this message five times, the
auto attendant announces, “That extension is not answering. Thank you” and
drops the call.
If the caller enters an invalid extension number, the auto attendant
announces, “The system does not recognize that extension. Please check it,
and enter it again.”

•
Your telephone base contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the corded handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone base if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
• You can damage your telephone base if it gets wet. Do not use the corded 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 equipment. For
your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
• Your telephone base 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.

1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
My telephone
base doesn’t
work at all.
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely
and firmly into the telephone base and the telephone
wall jack.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power.
Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back
in. Allow up to one minute for the telephone base to
reset.
• You may need to purchase four AA alkaline batteries
as backup battery to make the telephone base work in
the event of a power failure. Please refer to Optional
backup battery installation in this user’s manual.
I cannot get a
dial tone from the
corded handset.
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you plug the handset cord securely and
firmly into the HANDSET jack on the telephone base
and the corded handset.
• If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect
the telephone base from the telephone jack and
connect to a different phone. If there is no dial tone
on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring
or local service. Contact your local telephone service
provider.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a
new line cord.
I cannot dial out.
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The
corded handset might take a second or two to connect
the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is
normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a
television, radio or other appliances might cause the
phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate
the background noise, first try muting the cordled
handset before dialing, or dialing from another room
by a cordless handset with less background noise.

as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless
telephones.
I get noise, static,
or weak signals
even when
I’m near the
telephone base.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital
subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you
must install a DSL filter between the telephone base
and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise
and caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference.
Please contact your DSL service provider for more

(charges may apply).
I experience poor
sound quality
when using the
speakerphone.
• For increased sound quality while using the telephone
speakerphone, place the telephone base on a flat
surface with the dial pad facing up.
• Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone
to fade in and out. Try controlling the background
noise by turning off any audio devices near the
speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the
person at the other end of the conversation while
they are speaking. If background noise cannot be
controlled, you should stop speakerphone operation
and return to normal corded handset mode.
• When using a speakerphone, controlling background
noise in your environment is essential. While you are
listening to your party, press MUTE to temporarily
turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to
speak, remember to press MUTE again to turn the
microphone on.
I hear other calls
while using my
phone.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone
jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear
other calls, call your local telephone service provider.
My telephone
base does not
ring when I
receive a call.
• Make sure that the ringer is not off. Refer to the
section on ringer selection in this user’s manual.
• Make sure you plug in the telephone line cord
securely into the telephone base and the telephone
jack. Make sure you plug in the power cord securely.

My caller ID isn’t
working.
• Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe
to this service from your local telephone service
provider for this feature to work on your telephone
base.
• The caller must be calling from an area that supports
caller ID.
• Both you and your caller’s telephone service providers
must use caller ID compatible equipment.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital

you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems resulting from DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service provider
for more information about DSL filters.
System does not
receive caller ID
when on a call.

• If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the
system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory becomes full during a
message, the system stops recording and disconnects
the call.
• If the caller’s voice is very soft, the system may stop
recording and disconnects the call.

access code while your announcement is playing. Try
waiting until the announcement is over before entering
the code.
• There may be interference on the phone line you are
