Important information (for Australian users)  
Instructions to customer  
Installation  
Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted Attachment”  
which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.  
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are contained in  
Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).  
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line socket of any  
regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone  
socket installed in your premises.  
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket. You can then  
insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your equipment.  
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove the screw  
securing it. To do this proceed as follows:  
1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)  
2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)  
3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess. (If the screw  
is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one 5 mm shorter.)  
4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your Permitted  
Attachment, your installation is completed.  
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists only of a wall  
phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such  
cases a new socket will need to be installed.  
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable  
for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store where purchased.  
Service difficulties  
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the following checks before you call for  
service:  
L Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal telephone.  
L
If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted Attachment. Leave the  
Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.  
L If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service Difficulties and Faults”  
for attention.  
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is connected to your  
telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.  
WARNING  
This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of conversations.  
Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone systems in close proximity may be  
used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt conversations in progress when this system is on  
radio operation.

Caller ID  
Note for New Zealand users:  
L Your telephone company may charge you for a local  
call if the number dialled has the area code prefix  
included. If this is unacceptable, dial only the 7-digit  
local number. Do not dial the {0} prefix or the area  
code.  
3.7 Caller ID service  
This unit is compatible with the Caller ID service  
offered by your local telephone company. To use this  
unit’s Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a  
Caller ID service.  
For New Zealand users:  
Missed calls  
For all local and national incoming calls, your display will  
show the area code (e.g. 09 for Auckland) or the cellular  
prefix (e.g. 0274 for Telecom Cellular) followed by the  
caller’s telephone number. An Auckland caller’s number  
will be displayed as 09XXXXXXX. The seven X’s  
represent the seven digits of the caller’s telephone  
number. A caller from a 6-digit Telecom Cellular number  
will be displayed as 0274XXXXXX. For incoming  
international calls, your display may only show 0000.  
For business users on a Centrex line, your display will  
show Centrex extension numbers in the shorter  
extension number format used within your company.  
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a  
missed call. The number of missed calls is shown on the  
display. This lets you know if you should view the caller  
list to see who called while you were out.  
To confirm caller information by printing the Caller  
ID list (Base unit only)  
To print manually, see page 75.  
To print automatically after every 50 new calls,  
activate feature #26 (page 48).  
Call Waiting Caller ID feature (KX-FC225AL only)  
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting  
services, when a second call is received during a  
conversation, you will hear a call-waiting tone and the  
display will show the second caller’s information.  
You can answer the second call, keeping the first call on  
hold. Follow your service provider/telephone company  
instructions using {R} on the cordless handset or  
{RECALL} on the base unit.  
Caller information will not be presented on incoming  
fax calls if Telecom FaxAbility is used.  
Although Telecom New Zealand and TelstraClear do  
not currently send caller name information, the  
caller’s name will be displayed as stored in the  
directory, when a call from that caller is received.  
L The name display service may not be available in  
some areas. For further information, please contact  
your telephone company.  
Note:  
L The second caller’s information will not be displayed  
3.7.1 How Caller ID is displayed  
The calling party’s name or telephone number will be  
displayed after the 1st ring. You have the option of  
whether or not to answer the call.  
The unit will automatically store caller information  
(name, telephone number, date and time of the call) from  
the 50 most recent callers.  
It is possible to view caller information one at a time on  
the display (page 25) or print the entire Caller ID list  
(page 75).  
L When caller information is received and it matches a  
telephone number stored in the unit’s phonebook,  
the stored name will be displayed and logged.  
L If the unit is connected to a PBX (Private Branch  
Exchange) system, caller information may not be  
received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.  
L If the unit cannot receive caller information, the  
following will be displayed:  
when:  
the first call is placed on hold,  
the answering machine is recording an incoming  
message,  
an extension telephone on the same line is in  
use, or  
you are sending or receiving a fax document.  
Using Caller ID type II (KX-FC225AL only)  
When you receive a second call during a conversation,  
you will hear a signal tone following the call waiting tone  
and the conversation will be interrupted or muted for  
a short period of time. This is not the fault of the  
product as these events are normal.  
Note:  
L The tones are generated by the service provider.  
OUT OF AREA: The caller dialled from an area  
which does not provide Caller ID service.  
PRIVATE CALLER: The caller requested not to  
send caller information.  
LONG DISTANCE: The caller made a long distance  
call.  
3.8 Viewing and calling back  
Important:  
L If the area code of the received telephone  
number is the same as yours, the area code may  
need to be deleted before calling back. This may  
only apply to some areas. To edit the number, see  
page 26.  
Note for Australian users:  
L The area code will need to be stored with the 8-digit  
telephone number.
