39About 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 might 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 might 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 might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.  To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must  save the entry to the directory (see page 43).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
Caller ID40Caller ID historyHow the caller ID history (caller ID log) worksThe telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.Missed (new) call indicatorWhen a handset is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls. All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the  handset 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/CANCEL for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history become  old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message  goes away.
Caller ID41Caller 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 caller ID log will be in the format sent  by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. Review the caller ID historyReview the caller ID history to find out who called, to return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory. Caller ID log empty appears if there are no records in the caller ID log.1.

However, the next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, or “O’”, is kept as a capital letter. For example, the “D” in “MacDonald” is kept as a capital letter. Another exception is that “VAN DER” will be changed to  “Van der”.If the telephone number from the caller ID information has already been saved in the directory under a different name, the new name will overwrite the old one.•••••••••••

Appendix 58Important 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.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS•••••
