Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who is calling before you
answer the phone, even when you’re 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 CallWaiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service).
• You have only Caller ID service, or only CallWaiting service.
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or CallWaiting 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, 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 CallWaiting
Telephone Operating Range
Caller ID with CallWaiting features in
this telephone let you see who's call-
ing before you answer the phone, even
when you're 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 unit
can communicate over only a certain
distance - which can vary with the
locations of the base unit 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 is pressed. Move
closer to the base, then press PHONE
to answer the call.
• you have only Caller ID service, or
only CallWaiting service, or
• you currently do not have any
Caller ID or CallWaiting services.
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 CallWaiting 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
unit.
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, your telephone will be
left "off the hook" and the line will be
busy. To hang up properly, walk back
toward the telephone base unit while
periodically pressing OFF until the call
is disconnected.
See Caller ID Operation on page 22
for more details about how these fea-
tures work.
If you experience noise or interference
while on a call, press the CHAN button
until you find a clearer channel.

Separate Caller ID logs are kept in the cordless hand-
sets. Information about the last 30 incoming calls is
stored in each call log. You can review the call log to
find out who has called, return the call without dial-
ing, or transfer the caller’s name and number into your
phone 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 you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in your call log.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: 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 cord-
less handsets does not change.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer
Canada, call 1-866-288-4268.
•
•
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
My phone
doesn’t work
at all.
Make sure that the battery wire is securely plugged into the cordless
handset.
•
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is securely plugged firmly into the
telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
Charge the battery pack in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours.
For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to its
base when not in use.
•
•
Reset the base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approxi-
mately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for
the cordless handset and base to reset.
If your batteries are old, you may need to purchase a new battery
pack, please refer to page 7 of this user’s manual.
•
•
First try all the suggestions above.
I cannot get a
dial tone.
Move the cordless handset closer to the base. You might have moved
out of range.
•
•
Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.
If the previous suggestions don’t work, disconnect the base unit from
the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial
tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local ser-
vice. Contact your local telephone company.
I cannot dial
out.
•
•
First try all the suggestions above.
Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset
may take a second or two to find the base and produce a dial tone.
This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.
•
•
•
Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of
service that you have (pulse or touch tone). Refer to the Installation
section of this user’s manual (page 11) to set the dial mode.
If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the
problem is in your 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 phone to not dial out properly. If you
cannot eliminate the background noise, first 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 CordlessTelephones
• Privacy:The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some
limitations.Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless hand-
set 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 cordless phone conversa-
tions as being as private as those on corded phones.
• 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

Important Safety Instructions
Precautions for Users of Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers
Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital CordlessTelephones):
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.
