If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.The system announces “Time and day not set.”You need to reset the system clock.The outgoing announcement is not clear.When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice, about nine inches from the handset.Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while recording.New voicemail and   show on the cordless handset and I don’t know why.Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indication. If New voicemail and   appear on the cordless handset, then your telephone has received a signal from your telephone service provider that you have a voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from them. Contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail.•••••
Appendix92TroubleshootingI cannot retrieve voicemail messages.Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new messages differently. If you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone service provider, contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail.Common cure for electronic equipment.If the telephone does not seem to be responding normally, do the following (in the order listed):Disconnect the power to the telephone base.Disconnect the cordless handset battery.Wait a few minutes.Connect power to the telephone base.Install the cordless handset battery again, and place the cordless handset in the telephone base or handset charger.Wait for the cordless handset and the pendant to reestablish their connections with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.•••••••

Appendix95Important safety instructionsAvoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset or pendant is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset or pendant into its cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS13.14.15.16.
Appendix96Precautions 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.Note: The CareLineTM transmitter is a wireless telephone, and it should not be used in the pendant form (hanging from a necklace over the heart) by persons wearing pacemakers. Pacemaker patients should use the CareLineTM product in  belt-clip form only.•••
Appendix97Operating rangeThis cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset/pendant 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 layout of your home or office. When the handset is out of range, the handset displays  Out of range OR Base no power.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   . Move closer to the telephone base, then press   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.ECO modeThis power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.
Appendix98MaintenanceTaking care of your telephoneYour telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.Avoid rough treatmentPlace the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.Avoid waterYour 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 stormsElectrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.Cleaning your telephoneYour 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 water. If the telephone base should fall into 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.
Appendix99About 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.•••••
