may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit. Do
not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, or keys to touch
the battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
5. Use the battery identified for use with this product only in accordance with
the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic
contacts.
7. Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.

audio assist and the IN USE light.
If you unplug the telephone from the telephone wall jack, or you lose telephone
service for few minutes, and good batteries are not installed, the following
information is lost: call history, numbers stored the directory, redial, and all
settings in the feature menu. We recommend that you initially install new

Caller ID operation
Caller ID overview
About caller ID
This telephone has a caller ID feature that works
with the caller identification service provided by
your telephone service provider. There is a fee for
this service, and it might not be available in all
areas. This telephone can provide information only
if both you and the caller are in areas offering
caller identification service, and if both telephone
service providers use compatible equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who’s
calling before you answer the call, even when
you’re on another call.
You may need to change your telephone service
to use this feature. Contact your telephone 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 telephone with regular caller ID
service, and you can use this telephone’s other
features without subscribing to either caller ID or
combined caller ID with call waiting services.
About home area code and local area codes
Always set your home area code, and if you need
them, up to four local area codes (see Set home
area code on page 16 and Set local area code
on page 16). Entering these area codes changes
how numbers are displayed in the call history and
makes returning a call from the call history easier
(see Returning a call on page 36).

Time of call
The time and date of the call, the caller’s name
and telephone number are included on the screen
if they were sent by the caller’s telephone service
provider. Due to regional service differences, the
caller ID information might not be available for
every incoming call. In addition, the callers might
intentionally block their names and/or telephone
numbers. Other messages might appear on the
screen. Refer to Caller ID special messages on
page 34 for more information.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as
long as the telephone rings, for 15 seconds after
the caller hangs up, or after the call is answered
at another telephone on the same line.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this telephone
automatically resets the time and date each time
new call information is received. You can also set
the time and date yourself (see Set date and time
on page 17).
NOTE: If you select COMBINED in REPEATED

ERROR PRESENT

How call history works
Information about the last 65 incoming calls is
stored in the call history. The most recent call has
the highest entry number. (For example, if two
calls have been received, the call with the entry
number 02 in the call history is the more recent
one.) You can review the call history to find out
who has called, return the call or save the caller’s
name and number into the directory or two-touch
memory locations.
When the call history is full, the oldest entry
is deleted to make room for new incoming call
information.
If a call is answered before the information
appears on the screen, it is not saved in the call
history.

• Make sure the coiled handset cord is securely
installed between the handset and the

Appendix
Troubleshooting
• Make sure to set the DIAL MODE to the correct
setting (pulse dialing or tone dialing) for the
service in your area (see Feature summary on
page 15).
• If any of your other telephones are having the
same problem, the problem is in the wiring
or telephone service. Contact your telephone
service provider (charges may apply).
• If you are using the speakerphone, eliminate
any background noise. Noise from a television,
radio, or other appliances might cause the
telephone to not dial out properly. If you
cannot eliminate the background noise, first try
muting the telephone before dialing, or dialing
from another room in your home with less
background noise.
The telephone does not
ring when there is an
incoming call.
• Make sure the ringer is on (see Ringer volume
on page 13).
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged
in properly (see Telephone installation on
page 8).
• There might be too many extension telephones
on the telephone line to allow all of them
to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging one
telephone at a time until the telephones start
ringing.
• Test a working telephone at the same
telephone jack. If another telephone has the
same problem, the problem is in the telephone
jack. Contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
• The telephone line cord might be
malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone
line cord.

Appendix
FCC and ACTA information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23,
2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If
the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with the
Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide you with the
following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier
indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must
be provided to your telephone service provider upon request. For equipment approved prior to
July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is
listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by
“US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point
as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:
AAAEQ03T123XYZ indicates the REN would be 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you can connect to your telephone line and
still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENS should
be five (5.0) or less. You might want to contact your telephone service provider for more
information.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone
network must comply with the applicable part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted
by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is
designed to be connected to a compatible modular wall jack that is also compliant. An RJ11
jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines,
see installation instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with
coin telephone lines or with party lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment
connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable the alarm equipment,
consult your telephone service provider or qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular wall jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the
manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined
under the limited warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone service provider
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider
may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is
required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the
telephone service provider is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. Your telephone service provider may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone service
provider is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.
47
Appendix
FCC and ACTA information
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department
and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep
three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card (if
applicable), so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing
feature doesn’t work.
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended. However,
if you do make a call to an emergency number:
•
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging
up.
•
Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak
hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend
to be less busy.
48

Part 15 of FCC rules
Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not
installed and used properly, may cause interference to radio and television reception. This product
has been tested and found to meet the standards for a class B digital device, as specified in part
15 of the FCC rules.
These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
If this product causes interference to radio, VCR or television reception when it is in use, you
might correct the interference with any one or all of these measures:
•
•
Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving radio, VCR or television antenna.
To the extent possible, relocate the radio, VCR, television or other receiver with respect to the
telephone equipment.
•
If this telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet that’s not on
the same circuit as one used by your radio, VCR or television.
•
Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
