About the digital security code  
This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent  
unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents  
other cordless handsets from making calls through your base unit.  
A random security code will be assigned automatically between  
your base unit and handset when you charge the battery pack for  
the first time.  
If you want to reset the security code, see page 49.

Caller ID  
You must subscribe to the Caller ID service to use this feature.  
When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to  
view the caller's name and phone number on the display before  
you answer the phone.  
The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the  
name, time, and the number of calls. Additionally, you can dial the  
displayed number, and store the information for memory dialing.  
You must subscribe to  
Caller ID on Call Waiting  
in order to use this  
feature.  
Setting Caller ID options  
There are three Caller ID setup options available; they are  
AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code.  
AutoTalk allows you to answer the phone without pressing the  
talk  
button. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is on, simply  
remove the handset from the cradle and the phone automatically  
answers the call. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is off, you  
must press talk to answer the call.  
Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as  
regular Caller ID on a call waiting number.  
You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in  
order to use this feature.  
If you enter 3-digit area code number in the Area Codeoption,  
your local area code does not appear in Caller ID messages. When  
reviewing Caller ID messages, you will see only the local seven digit  
number. For calls received from outside your local area code, you  
will see a full 10-digit number.  
If your calling area requires 10-digit dialing,  
do not program this option.

Setting ring time switch  
The ring time/toll saver switch  
open  
backup battery  
allows you to set the number of  
rings the caller hears before the  
answering system plays your  
outgoing message. You can set  
the switch to answer after two  
rings or after four rings.  
RING TIME  
2/4/TS  
Once the greeting has started, you can stop it when you pick up  
the call at the handset or base.  
In the TS (Toll Saver) position, the answering system picks up  
after two rings if you have new messages, and after four rings if  
there are none. This way, if you call long distance to check your  
messages, you can hang up after the third ring to avoid billing  
charges.  
If you answer at another phone extension and the  
greeting has started, you cannot stop the message.  
Wait until your greeting is complete before starting  
your conversation.

Changing the digital security code  
The digital security code is an identification code used to connect  
the handset and the base unit. Normally, setting the code is not  
necessary.  
The first time you charge your handset, the security code is  
automatically set. (See page 2.)  
In the rare situation that you suspect another cordless telephone  
is using the same security code, you can change the code.  
If the handset battery pack  
is completely discharged  
or the battery pack is  
removed, the digital  
security code will be lost.  
If this happens, a new  
security code is set  
automatically next time  
the battery pack is  
charged.
