You must install and charge

the battery before using the

cordless handset.

See pages 5 and 6 for easy

instructions.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone wall jack and an electrical

outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a

flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (page 7). For optimum range and

better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)

through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the

telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 4). The filter prevents

noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your

DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset

or telephone base display - remove it before use.

use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate

services (you may need to combine these services).

• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting

service.

• You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services

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 service providers use compatible equipment. The

time and date are sent by the telephone service provider along with the call

information.

The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The

callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this

product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call

waiting service.

About home area code

See Home area code on page 14 to determine if you should enter your area

code. Entering the area code changes how numbers are displayed in the

caller ID history and how to return a call from the caller ID history (see

To view the dialing options on page 38).

Caller ID

Caller ID history

How caller ID history (call log) works

The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls

in the telephone base. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the telephone

number and 15 characters for the name. Entries are stored in reverse

chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is

full to make room for new calls. If you answer a call before the information

appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.

NOTE: The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. The callers

might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing

caller ID information on page 37).

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven

Chris

digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that

888-722-7702

appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in

your directory.

10:30^PM

11/20

For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as

Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service

provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area

code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number

in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For

example, if the telephone service provider includes the area code and the directory number

does not, the name appears as delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice

messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at

your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-

in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each

alerts you to new messages differently.

and NEW VOICEMAIL display on the handset, your telephone service

provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your

voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone

service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail

and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check

what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone

service provider.

To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off

your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your

voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate

your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system

and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer

before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your

voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are

on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you

receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.

If you have voicemail provided by your telephone service provider, we

recommend setting your answering system to answer calls at least two rings

earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail

answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings.

Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls

in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when

determining the appropriate setting.

Answering system new message indication

When there are new messages (including memos) on the

HANDSET 1

answering system, the number of new messages stored

16 NEW MESSAGES

flashes in the message window on the telephone base, and

the

of the system handset. If the new message alert tone is

turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when

there are new messages.

To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, use the

PLAY MESSAGES menu from the handset or press

PLAY/STOP on the

telephone base (see Message playback on page 44).

Message capacity

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the

length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and

the approximate recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time

depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for

replay until you delete them.

If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left,

the remaining time is announced at the end of messages playback.

If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The

Call screening

If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and

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 handset

by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could

be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this

reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as

those on corded telephones.

•

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a

working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made

from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical

power is interrupted.

Appendix

Important safety information

•

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 nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.

Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive

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-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.

The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in

an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride 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 Ni-MH batteries.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to 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

Pacemaker patients

•

Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.

Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast

pocket, when it is turned ON.

•

Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons

using wireless telephones.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the

call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations

regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the

other party that you are recording the conversation.

PRODUCT under this limited warranty. Transportation, delivery or handling charges are prepaid.

The manufacturer assumes no risk for damage or loss of the PRODUCT in transit. If the

PRODUCT failure is not covered by this limited warranty, or proof of purchase does not meet the

cost of repair prior to any further repair activity. You must pay for the cost of repair and return

shipping costs for the repair of products that are not covered by this limited warranty.

You must:

merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the PRODUCT is fit for ordinary use) are limited

DECT 6.0 digital technology

Telecommunications (DECT) 6.0 is a new frequency band that transmits your

voice across multiple channels. This technology provides superior quality of

voice and sound, high protection against wiretapping and better range than

2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phone systems, while not interfering with wireless routers.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates within 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 construction of your home or office.
