Information about caller ID with call waiting

10:01^AM11/23

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 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.

Depending on your service, you may see the

caller’s phone number or the caller’s name and

number.

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

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.

How the caller ID history works

The caller ID history stores information about the

last 50 incoming calls. Review the caller ID history

to find out who called, to easily return the call, or

to copy the caller’s name and number into your

will appear as it is 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 E

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 pro-

tect 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 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 F

Important safety information

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 con-

nected 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

or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

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 batter-

ies 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-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.

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.

Important safety information

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 by the U.S. Food

and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

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 compli-

ance 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.

quality of voice and sound, high protection against wiretapping and better

range than the 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.

Extended range and clarity

This telephone base comes with an antenna which gives much better clarity

and covers a longer range than before.
