About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service

providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s

number, or the caller’s name and number that are sent by your telephone

UGTXKEGRTQXKFGTCHVGTVJGſTUVQTUGEQPFTKPI%CNNGT+&CNNQYU[QWVQUGGVJG

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, 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.

This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in

areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use

compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by your 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.

•

The name (if available), telephone number, date and time of all incoming calls

are shown on the screen.

You hear a double beep when it reaches the beginning or end of the call log list.

When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new

incoming call information.

XX missed call(s) displays when there are new call log entries that have not

been reviewed.

Call log empty displays when there are no records in the call log.

Only one handset can review the call log at a time. If a handset tries to enter

the call log while another handset is already in it, Not available displays.

Missed call indicator

When there are calls that have not been reviewed in the call

log, the handset displays XX missed calls.

Each time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the

number of missed calls decreases by one.

When you have reviewed all the missed calls, the missed

call indicator no longer displays.

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one,

press and hold OFF/CANCEL on the handset to erase the

missed call indicator. All the entries are then considered old

and kept in the call log.

•

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 24).

If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the

The number shown in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone service

provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus phone

number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone number does not

match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the

telephone service provider.

If you have programmed the home area code (see page 12), only the last

seven digits of the incoming phone numbers from that area code will be

displayed while reviewing the call log. Press # repeatedly to display all possible

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice

messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your

service provider’s voicemail. Your telephone’s built-in answering system

messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new

messages differently.

If and New voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service

provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your

voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone

service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

If and XX new message(s) display on the handset and the message

YKPFQYQPVJGVGNGRJQPGDCUGƀCUJGUVJGTGCTGPGYCPUYGTKPIU[UVGO

messages. Press MENU/SELECT twice on the handset (page 31) or

/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 31) to listen.

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 your answering system, turn off your

answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail

service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your 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.

Message capacity

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each

message can be up to three minutes in length. The total storage capacity

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.

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 portable 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’s 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[QWVQH[QWTJQOGQTQHſEG

When the handset is out of range, the handset displays Out of range or no pwr at base.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it may not ring, or if it does ring, the call may not

connect well when you press /FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH to

answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may 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 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, 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.
