51About caller IDThis product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.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 call, 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 don’t 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, along with the call information, are from the telephone service provider.Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. You can only view a maximum of 15 digits of every caller ID log entry. To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 56).NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. •••Caller ID
52Caller IDCaller ID historyHow the caller ID history (call log) worksIf you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service provider, 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 is not saved in the call log.The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.Entries appear in reverse chronological order.When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.L1)X Missed and/or L2)X Missed displays when there are new call log entries that have not been reviewed.Call log empty shows when there are no records in the call log.Only one handset or the telephone base can review the call log at a time. If a handset tries to enter the call log while another handset or the telephone base is already in it, its screen shows Not available at this time.NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the call log.Missed (new) call indicatorWhen there are calls that have not been reviewed in the call log, the corresponding line message, L1)X Missed orL2)X Missed, shows on the handset and the telephone base.Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one. If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and hold OFF on the handset for four seconds when the handset is idle, or press and hold CANCEL on the telephone base for four seconds when the telephone base is idle. You will hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID history become old (reviewed already),and the missed calls message goes away.•••••••MENUHandsetL1)X MissedL2)X Missed12:45am 12/311NEWDELETE SAVERobert Brown888-883-244512:45am 12/311
53Caller IDCaller ID operationMemory matchIf the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of 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 in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the last 7-digit of an incoming telephone number does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

68Answering systemAbout the answering systemAnswering system and voicemail indicatorsYour telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left on your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.If the icon and a line number appear on the handset and telephone base, 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 the /MAIL BOX 1 or /MAIL BOX 2 button on the telephone base flashes, your digital answering system has new messages for you. To listen to the messages, press the flashing mailbox button. Some telephone 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. Using the answering system and voicemail togetherYou 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.••
69Answering systemAbout the answering systemMessage capacityThe 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.New message indicationWhen there are new messages on the answering system of line 1, L1)X New Msgs and 1display on the handset and 1 on the telephone base. /MAIL BOX 1 flashes on the telephone base.When there are new messages on the answering system of line 2, L2)X New Msgs and 2display on the handset and telephone base. /MAIL BOX 2 flashes on the telephone base.When there are new messages on the answering system of both line 1 and line 2, L1)X New Msgs,L2)X New Msgs and 12display on the handset and 12 on the telephone base. /MAIL BOX 1 and /MAIL BOX 2 flash on the telephone base.Voice promptsThe system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing announcements.

94AppendixImportant safety informationEspecially about cordless telephonesPrivacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your 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 which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the 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 TVs 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 will often reduce or eliminate the interference. Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive 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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac 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 patientsShould 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.Especially about telephone answering systemsTwo-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS••••••••
