36About caller IDThis 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 service provider 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 waitingCaller 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 might be 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.•••Caller ID operation
Caller ID operation37Caller ID logIf you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID log.The caller ID log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in the caller ID log.You can review, redial and copy an entry into the directory.Entries appear in reverse chronological order.When the caller ID 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 caller ID log entries that have not been reviewed.Caller ID log empty displays when there are no records in the caller ID log.Only one handset can review the caller ID log at a time. If a handset tries to enter the caller ID log while another handset is already in it, Not available at this time appears.The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.For caller ID 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 30).If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the caller ID log.•••Memory matchIf the last seven digits of 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 Elizabeth Jones calls, her name appears as Liz if this is how you entered it into your directory.The number you see on your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone 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.•••••••

45Answering system and voicemailYour 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 displays on the handset and the message window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base or refer to Answer ON/OFF on page 41 to turn it on the handset.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 capacityThe answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. The recording time of each message depends on the message length you set (see Messagerecording time on page 43). 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.••Answering system operation

Appendix67About cordless telephonesPrivacy: 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.•••••The RBRC® sealThe RBRC® seal on the nickel-metal hydride battery indicates that VTech Communications, Inc. is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful lives, when taken out of service within the United States and Canada.The RBRC® program provides a convenient alternative to placing used nickel-metal hydride batteries into the trash or municipal waste, which may be illegal in your area.VTech’s participation in RBRC®makes it easy for you to drop off the spent battery at local retailers participating in the RBRC® program or at authorized VTech product service centers.
