Information about caller ID with call waiting  
This product has a caller ID function with call waiting  
feature which works with service from your local  
telephone company.  
CHRISTINE SMITH

NEW  
10:01AM  
11/23  
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 company  
if:  
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as  
separate services (you may need combined serv-  
ice).  
• You have only caller ID service, or only call wait-  
ing service.  
You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services.  
This product can be used with regular caller ID  
service, or this product’s other features can be used  
without subscribing to either caller ID or combined  
caller ID with call waiting service.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,  
services may not be available in all areas.  
Depending on your service, 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 telephone company  
along with the call information.  
NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and the  
caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both tele-  
phone companies use compatible equipment.

How the call log works  
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is stored  
in the call log. You can review the call log to find out  
who has called, easily return the call, or copy the  
caller’s name and number into your directory.

When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted  
to make room for new incoming call information.  
If you answer a call before the information appears  
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.  
The call log is stored in the telephone base, and is  
shared by all handsets. Changes made at any one  
handset will be reflected in all.  
NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID log or  
directory at a time. If another handset attempts to enter  
the directory or caller ID log, it will display NOT

For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name will  
appear as Chris if this is how you entered it into  
your directory.  
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the  
format sent by the phone company. The phone company  
usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus  
phone number). If the telephone number of the person  
calling does not exactly match a number in your directory,  
the name will appear as delivered by the phone company.  
For example if the phone company includes the area code  
and the directory number does not, the name will appear  
as delivered by the phone company.

Appendix  
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 cannot access any handset settings.  
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 PHONE/FLASH. Move  
closer to the telephone base, then press PHONE/FLASH to answer the call. If  
the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might  
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 out-  
doors 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 electric 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 the 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.

Appendix  
Important safety instructions  
Especially About Cordless Telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create  
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base  
and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless  
phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within  
range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cord-  
less phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.  
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 handset if the  
telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is  
interrupted.  
• Power adapter: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a  
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug  
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.  
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies  
that may cause interference to TVs 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.  
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, brace-  
lets, 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 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.  
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):  
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 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.
