About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone
service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and
time of calls. Some names and numbers may not show because they are
not available or blocked by the caller. The caller ID information shows after
the first or second ring.
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, 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 do not 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 are sent by your telephone
service provider along with the call information.
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this
product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined
caller ID with call waiting service.

Call log
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller
appears after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller
information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
• The call log stores up to 30 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the
phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone number
has more that 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has
more than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and
saved in the call log.
• 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.
• XX missed calls displays when there are new call log entries that have
not been reviewed.
• Call log empty displays when there are no records in the call log.
For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the
entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 21).

Memory match
When the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a
telephone number in your directory, the screen displays the stored name of
the directory entry.
For example, if Linda Jones calls, her name appears as Linda if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
The number shown in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone
service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code
plus phone number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone
number does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it
is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac 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 patients
•
•
Should 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.
Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset 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 no pwr at base.
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
to answer the call.
/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press
/FLASH
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there may be interference. To
improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if
you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your 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 storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your
own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into the 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.

About cordless telephones
•
Privacy: 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.
The RBRC® seal

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for a Class B
digital device under Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These
requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of
communications may not be ensured when using this telephone.

FCC Part 68 and ACTA
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and with technical requirements
adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). The label on the
back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. This identifier must be provided to your telephone service provider upon

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to premises wiring and the telephone network
must comply with applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be
used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in
the user’s manual.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. The REN for this
product is encoded as the 6th and 7th characters following the US: in the product identifier (e.g.,
if ## is 03, the REN is 0.3). In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or
less. For more information, please contact your telephone service provider.
This equipment may not be used with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing
equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone service provider or a qualified installer.
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem
has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer
or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Warranty.
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider may
temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is required to
notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as
soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone
service provider is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your
telephone service provider may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone service provider
is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store emergency telephone
numbers (e.g., police, fire, medical) in these locations. If you do store or test emergency
numbers, please:
Remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up.
Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
