Caller ID
About caller ID
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 that 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.

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.
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 information may not be available for every incoming call. The
callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To
view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save
the entry to the directory (see pages 27-28).
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.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number exactly matches 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 shown by your caller ID is 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 appears
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 appears as delivered by the
phone company.

Missed (new) calls indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has calls that have not
been reviewed, its screen shows XX MISSED CALLS.
All unreviewed entries are counted as missed calls. Each
time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the number
of missed calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one,
but you still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you
can press and hold
OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when
the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history
will be considered old (have been reviewed), and the
missed calls counter shows 0.

Caller ID
Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about 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 common to all handsets, 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.
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.
XX MISSED CALL(S) will appear if there are new call log
entries (includng missed and unreviewed calls). CALL
LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call
log.
NOTES:
1. 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 shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS
TIME.
2. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone
number and 15 characters for the name.

About the answering system
Answering system and voice mail
Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voice mail indication.
Most telephone companies offer voice mail service (fees may apply). Your
telephone’s answering system and voice mail indication are independent
features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information
on the voice mail indicators, see page 12. To listen to your voice mail, you
typically follow the instructions provided by your voice mail service provider.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
PLAY/STOP button on the telephone base.
If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone
service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voice
mail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings
earlier than your voice mail is set to answer. For example, set your voice mail
to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after
four rings.
NOTE: Some voice mail 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. By doing this, 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 voice mail message.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and
the maximum recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time
depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for
replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored will flash in the message counter.
If F is flashing in the message counter, the memory is full. You must delete
some messages before recording new ones.
Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone base
Unless you change it, the answering system is on and
ready to record messages. You can turn the answering
system off, but if you do so, the answering system does
not answer calls and record incoming messages.
Press
ANS ON/OFF to turn the answering system on
or off. If the answering system is turned on, it announces
“Calls will be answered.” If the answering system is
turned off, it announces “Calls will not be answered.”

Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by
pressing PHONE/FLASH or
SPEAKER on the handset.
Base ringer
Press VOLUMEST on the telephone base to adjust the ringer volume when
the telephone is not in use.
You will hear a sample of the ringer while you adjust the volume, the
telephone base announces “Base ringer is off” when you set the volume to 0.
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
Pressing any telephone base key (except
HANDSET LOCATOR) will
temporarily silence the message alert tone.
If you press XDELETE when in idle mode, there is a voice prompt to direct
you to press XDELETE again to delete all old messages, and the message
alert tone is temporarily silenced.
The message alert tone is re-activated with the next incoming message.

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure that the battery connector is securely
plugged into the cordless handset.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is securely and
firmly plugged into the telephone base and the
telephone wall jack.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at
least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance,
return the cordless handset to the telephone base
or charger when not in use.
• If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately
four minutes to charge the handset before it can
resume display on the screen.
• 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
cordless handset and telephone base to reset.
• You may need to purchase a new battery. Please
refer to Battery installation & charging, page 5, in
this user’s manual.
I cannot get a dial

• First try all the suggestions above.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone
base. You might have moved out of range.
• If the previous suggestions don’t 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
company.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing
a new line cord.

Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out.
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The
cordless handset may take a second or two to find
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 may cause the
phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot
eliminate the background noise, first try muting the
cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from
another room in your home with less background
noise.
• If the other phones in your home are having the same
problem, the problem is in your wiring or local
service. Contact your local telephone company
(charges may apply).
My cordless
handset isn’t

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

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 telephone out by the
unplugged cords.

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, 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.
