Directory
About the directory
Use the directory to store names and phone numbers. The directory in the
deskset is independent from the main base and all other registered handsets.
Changes made to the directory on the main base and other registered
handsets apply only to that particular device.
Capacity
The directory of the deskset can store up to 100 entries, with a maximum of
16 alphanumeric characters (including spaces) for names and 32 digits for
telephone numbers. A convenient search feature can help you quickly find
and dial numbers (page 41).
When there are already 100 entries, the screen shows Memory is full. You
cannot store a new number until you delete one. If you try to view the
directory entries when there are no entries, the screen displays Directory
empty.

Caller ID
About caller ID
This deskset supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers
offer. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s
number, or the caller’s name and number from the 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 waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the
telephone, and while on another call.
L1
-------Line 1-----Christine Smith
888 722 7702
Silence
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition,
this service might be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual
call waiting) by different telephone service providers and might not be
available in all areas.
It might be necessary to change 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
might need to combine these services)
• You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
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 from the telephone service
provider along with the call information.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers
may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
NOTES:
• You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, or you can use this telephone’s other
features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
• The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you
set (See Area codes in your SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s manual for explanations and
instructions for setting area codes).
43
Caller ID
Caller ID Information
How the caller ID information (call log) works
The deskset stores caller ID information for the last 50 incoming calls. Entries
are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest
entry when the log is full to make room for a new call.
Each extension has an independent call log. Deleting
the caller ID information on any one extension does not
affect the caller ID information on other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
Review the caller ID information to see who called, to
easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and
number into your directory.

If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If 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 Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown is in the format from the telephone service provider. It usually
delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). The telephone
system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first
corresponding number from the directory.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When the deskset is in idle mode and has new missed calls,
its screen shows XX Missed call(s).
All new missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each
time you review a call log entry with the icon new, the
number of missed calls decreases by one. When all the
entries in the call log become old (have been reviewed), the
system removes the missed calls alert from the display, and
the NEW CALL indicator turns off.

Answering system and voicemail
The deskset has a private voicemail box that is different from the general
mailbox on the main base or handset. The voicemail messages for the
deskset can be accessed from the main base.
The deskset has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your
L1
service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your
1:Deskset 1
telephone’s built-in answering system messages and
COVM L1
voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to

Menu
Redial
new messages differently.
• If you turn on the COVM feature (see COVM on
page 29 for more information) and the COVM icon
displays on the base screen, 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.
• To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
/MAILBOX on the deskset (page 60).
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.

Answering system
Set the answering system to answer automatically
You can set each of the four lines to automatically answer incoming calls on
the main base in two different ways. See the SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s
manual for more information.
General mailbox:
The called line rings on every extension for each incoming call. If there is no
answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message in the general mailbox, which
a person at any handset or the deskset can review. The general mailbox stores
incoming messages, memos and recorded calls.
Auto attendant:
The called line for each incoming call flashes on every extension, but does not
ring. Instead, the auto attendant answers. The caller can specify an extension
or leave a general mailbox message. When the auto attendant directs a call to
an extension but it is not answered, the auto attendant prompts the caller to
leave a message for that extension or try another extension.
Answering system capacity
The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available
for review until you delete them.
Each recorded announcement requires system memory, so we suggest
recording a brief announcement in order to leave more space for messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to
Remaining space in the SynJ SB67118/SB67138 telephone base manual.

My deskset doesn’t work at all.
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the
main base and the telephone wall jack.
• Reset the deskset. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for approximately 15
seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the deskset
to reset.
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can
cause interference with your cordless devices. Try installing your phone as
far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.
• You may need to purchase a backup battery to make the deskset work in
the event of a power failure. Please refer to Backup battery installation
on page 6and Backup battery charging on page 7 in this user’s manual.
I cannot get a dial tone from the corded handset.
• Try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you plug the handset cord securely and firmly into the
HANDSET jack on the deskset and the corded handset.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.
I cannot dial out.
• Try all the suggestions above.
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The corded handset might
take a second or two to connect the deskset 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 might cause the telephone to not dial out properly. If you
cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the corded handset
before dialing, or dialing from another room by a cordless handset with
less background noise.
• If the other telephones in your building are having the same problem,
contact your telephone service provider.

the deskset on a flat surface.
• Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and
out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices
near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the
other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise
cannot be controlled, you should stop speakerphone operation and return
to normal corded handset mode.
• When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE
to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak,
remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.

Electrical storms
•
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For
your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
•
Your deskset 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 water. If the deskset should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the
unit out by the unplugged cords.
