base before use.
The DS3111-2/TM3111-2/DS3111-3/DS3111-4 comes with two/three/four registered
handsets (named HANDSET 1, 2, 3 and 4). Additional handsets will be assigned

About caller ID
If you subscribe to caller ID service from your local telephone company, this feature
displays the name and telephone number of the caller before answering a call
(even when on another call). The caller ID features of this product will work only if
you subscribe to caller ID service and both you and the caller are in areas offering
caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
Contact your local telephone company if:
•
you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need
combined service),
• you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service,
• you do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services but wish to subscribe.
There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller
ID with call waiting service, although the caller ID features of this product will not
function.

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 will display CONNECTING.... The user can access certain parts of the menu system, i.e.
handset setting, but not the handset directory and call log. NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME will be displayed if access is denied.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press
Move closer to the telephone base, then press /FLASH to answer the call.
/FLASH.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.
To improve receiption, 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 your
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, use 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 a 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 your telephone base should
fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL.
Then pull the unit out 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 base and the
cordless 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. 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 or 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 will often reduce or eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless telephones only).
•
•
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries
in order not to create a short circuit 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. Like other batteries of this type, if burned
or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
