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
VGNGRJQPGUGTXKEGRTQXKFGTCHVGTVJGſTUVQTUGEQPFTKPI%CNNGT+&CNNQYU[QW
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 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 associated with 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 service
provider along with the call information.
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.

Answering system operation
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication.
Most telephone companies offer voicemail service (fees may apply). Your
telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent
features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information
on the voicemail indicators, see page 22. To listen to your voicemail, follow the
instructions provided by your voicemail service provider. To listen to messages
recorded on your digital answering system, see page 47.
If you subscribe to a voicemail service through your telephone service
provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail
together. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy 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, set your voicemail to answer calls
after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings.
Message capacity
The answering system of Line 1 and Line 2 can each record and store up to
99 messages. Each message can be up to four minutes in length. The total
storage capacity of each telephone line for the announcement, messages
and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends
on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay
until you delete them.

If you want to talk to the caller who is recording a message on Line 1 or
Line 2, press the corresponding line button (LINE 1 or LINE 2) on the
telephone base or 1 LINE/FLASH,2 LINE/FLASH, or on the handset.
Some telephone service providers program the delay before answering calls
in seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when
determining the appropriate setting.

Caller ID entries do not match the numbers I need to dial.
Caller ID service delivers 10 digits (the area code plus the seven-digits number). If
you need to dial something other 10 digits, see page 48 for instructions on changing
the number.
If you dial seven digits for local calls you might want to use the Home area code
feature (page 22).
CONNECTING... shows in the handset screen.
The handset might be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Use a
working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Reset your telephone by unplugging the power adapter from the telephone base.
Disconnect the battery from the cordless handset. Wait for 15 seconds, then plug
in the power adapter and re-install the battery. Place the handset in the telephone
base and allow up to one minute for the handset and telephone base to synchronize.
Other electronic products might prevent your handset and telephone base from
communicating with each other. Install your telephone base as far away from
these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, cellular telephones,
intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal computers, kitchen appliances and
other cordless telephones.
The answering system does not answer after the number of rings that I
programmed it.
Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the
ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base should be lit and ANS ON should show
on the handset.
If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new
messages waiting (page 21).
If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the answering system answers
after 10 rings.
In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by the
telephone service provider.
The outgoing announcement is not clear.
When recording the announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice
towards the microphone of the handset.
Make sure there is no background noise when recording.

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 protable
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 evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from
other persons using wireless telephones.

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 weather, and the
NC[QWVQH[QWTJQOGQTQHſEG
When the handset is out of range, the handset displays CONNECTING...
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 . Move closer to the telephone base, then press to answer
the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.

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 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 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove
the telephone by the unplugged cords.

Appendix
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 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 power: 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 often reduces or
eliminates the interference.
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. 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 the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured,
they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
