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 productâs other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. 45 ⢠The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. ⢠For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 49). ⢠If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the call log. 46 Telephone operation Telephone operation Missed calls indicator Review the call log When there are unreviewed calls in the call log, the handset shows XX MISSED CALL(S).

Most telephone companies offer voicemail service (fees may apply). Your telephoneâs 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. Displays When PRIVATE NAME The caller is blocking the name.

Move closer to the telephone base, then press to answer connect well when you press the call. ⢠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. 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 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. ⢠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.
