IMPORTANT
Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID with call waiting feature that works with
service from your local telephone service provider.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who is calling before answering
the telephone, even when 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.
Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name
and number. 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. The
time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.

Caller ID and call waiting
Telephone operating range
The caller ID with call waiting features
in this telephone let you see who's
calling before answering the telephone,
even when on another call. These
features require services provided by
your local telephone company.
The cordless telephone handset oper-
ates with the maximum power allowed
by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).This cordless
handset and the telephone base can
communicate over only a certain dis-
tance - which can vary with the loca-
tions of the telephone base and the
cordless handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
Contact your telephone service pro-
vider if:
• you have both caller ID and call
waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service),
If there is an incoming call but the
cordless handset is out of range, the
cordless handset might not ring - or if
it does ring, the call might not connect
well when ꢀPHONE/FLASH is pressed.
Move closer to the telephone base,
• you have only caller ID service, or
only call waiting service, or
• you currently do not have any caller
ID or call waiting services.
then press
the call.
ꢀPHONE/FLASH to answer
You can use this telephone with regu-
lar caller ID service, and you can use
its other features without subscribing
to either caller ID or combined caller
ID with call waiting service. There may
be fees for these services, and they
may not be available in all areas.
If you move out of range during a tele-
phone conversation, you might hear
noise or interference from the cord-
less handset. To improve reception,
move closer to the telephone base.
Caller ID features will work only if
both you and the caller are in areas
offering caller ID service, and if both
telephone companies use compatible
equipment.
If you move out of range without
pressing OFF/CLEAR, your telephone
will be left off the hook and the line
will be busy. To hang up properly, walk
back toward the telephone base while
periodically pressing OFF/CLEAR until
the call is disconnected.
See Caller ID operation on page 23
for more details about how these fea-
tures work.
If you experience noise or interference
while on a call, press the CHAN button
until a clearer channel is selected.

un-reviewed calls
Old: reviewed calls
Separate caller ID logs are kept in the cordless handsets.
Information about the last 30 incoming calls is stored in
the call log. You can review the call log to find out who
has called, return the call without dialing, or transfer the
caller’s name and number into the telephone directory.
Each incoming call is numbered. The most recent call is
assigned the highest number. When the call log is full,
the oldest call information is deleted to make room for
new incoming call information.
If a call is answered before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
NOTES:
1. Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas
offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible
equipment.
2. Each cordless handset's call log is independent of the other cordless
handset's call logs. For example, when you delete one or all call log
entries from one cordless handset, the information on all other cordless
handsets does not change.

If the telephone number of the person calling matches a num-
ber in your directory,the name that appears on the screen will
match the name entered into the directory.
(Example:If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as
CHRIS if this is how it is entered in the directory.)
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by
the telephone company. The telephone company usually delivers 10-digit tele-
phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number
of the person calling does not match a number in the directory, the name will
appear as delivered by the telephone company. For example if the telephone
company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name
will appear as delivered by the telephone company.
There are also occasions when other information or no
information is displayed for various reasons:
On-screen message
PRIVATE NAME
Reason

PRIVATE CALLER
Caller name and telephone number are

UNKNOWN NAME
Your local telephone company is unable
to determine the caller's name.
UNKNOWN CALLER
Your local telephone company is unable
to determine the caller's name and tele-
phone number. Calls from other countries
may also generate this message.
Missed calls
NOTE: While the cordless
handset is idle, press and hold
OFF/CLEAR for four sec-
onds, the number of missed calls
shown on the message counter of
this cordless handset will be reset
to 0 and the XX MISSED CALLS
message will be cleared.
When a handset is not being used, its screen will show
the number of missed calls and the current date and
time. XX MISSEDꢀCALLS are calls that have not been
reviewed at that handset. When a NEW call log entry
is reviewed, the number of missed calls at that handset
decreases by one. The number of MISSED CALLS on
the other cordless handset(s) remains unchanged until
they are reviewed on those cordless handsets.

•
Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of
service available (pulse or touch tone). Refer to the Installation sec-
tion of this user’s manual (page 11) to set the dial mode.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem,
the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-
phone company (charges may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or
other appliance may cause the telephone to not dial out properly. If
you cannot eliminate the background noise, try muting the cordless
handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home
with less background noise.

Appendix
Important safety instructions
Especially 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 your conversations on
the cordless telephone be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of
the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of conversations
on a cordless telephone being as private those on corded telephones.
• Electrical power:The base unit 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 base unit is
unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
• PotentialTV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference toTVs andVCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference,
do not place the base unit of the cordless telephone near or on top of aTV orVCR.
If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the
TV orVCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries:This product contains either nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order
not to short the battery 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Do not dispose of them in household garbage. 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-cadmium 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 nickel-cadmium batteries. 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.
• 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.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz digital cordless telephones):
WirelessTechnology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a mul-
tidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,
WTR had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other
persons using wireless phones.
