About Caller Identification (Caller ID)  
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with  
service from your local phone service provider.  
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer  
the phone, even when you’re on another call.  
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact  
your phone service provider 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 don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.  
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this  
product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined  
Caller ID with Call Waiting service.  
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they 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 companies use  
compatible equipment.  
About Call History  
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 65. The most  
recent call will have the highest number. When the memory is full, the oldest  
call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.  
If you answer a call before call information appears on the screen, it will not  
be stored in the call history.  
About Home Area Code and Local Area Codes  
Always program your Home Area Code, and if you need them, up to four  
Local Area Codes (see “Set Home Area Code” and “Set Local Area Codes”  
on pages 11 and 12). Programming these area codes will change how  
numbers are displayed in the call history, and will allow for correct operation  
of the Display Dial feature.

Inspect the line cord connections at the  
modular jack and at the telephone. Also  
inspect the coiled handset cord connections  
at both ends.  
• Unplug the telephone and connect it  
to another modular jack. If it still does not  
work and other telephones in your home

set to OFF.
