Caller ID  
About caller ID  
This deskset supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers  
offer. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.  
Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number,  
or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider after  
the first or second ring. Caller ID information might not be available for every  
incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone  
numbers.  
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.  
Information about caller ID with call waiting  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and  
telephone number of the caller before answering the  
telephone, and while on another call.  
L1  
-------Line 1------  
Christine Smith  
888 722 7702  
Silence  
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition,  
this service might be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual  
call waiting) by different telephone service providers and might not be  
available in all areas.  
It might be necessary to change 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  
might need to combine these services).  
• You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.  
NOTES:  
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, or you can use this telephone’s other  
features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.  
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you  
set (see Area codes in your SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s manual for explanations and  
instructions for setting area codes).

Caller ID  
Caller ID Information  
How the caller ID information (call log) works  
The deskset stores caller ID information for the  
last 50 incoming calls. Entries are stored in reverse  
chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest  
entry when the log is full to make room for a new call.  
Each extension has an independent call log. Deleting  
the caller ID information on any one extension  
does not affect the caller ID information on  
other extensions.  
If you answer a call before the information appears on the  
screen, it will not be saved in the call log.

Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until  
the caller hangs up, or until the call has been answered at another extension,  
or until the call ends.  
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the  
time and date each time new call information is received. You can also set  
the time and date manually (see Set date and time in your SynJ SB67118/

NOTES:  
The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might

Each entry can store up to 32 digits for the telephone number and 16 characters for the  
name. If the telephone number has more than 16 digits but less than or equal to 24 digits,  
only the last 16 digits appear. If the telephone number has more than 24 digits, only the 9th  
to 24th digits (16 digits) appear. In order to view the entire number, you must first save the  
entry to the directory (see page 48). If the telephone number has more than 32 digits, it is not  
saved or shown in the call log.

Caller ID  
Caller ID operation  
Memory match  
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a telephone  
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the  
corresponding name in your directory.  
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 is in the format from the telephone service provider. It usually  
delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). The telephone  
system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first  
corresponding number from the directory.

system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to  
new messages differently.  
• If you turn on the COVM feature (see COVM  
on page 30 for more information) and the COVM  
icon displays on the deskset, 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.  
• To listen to messages recorded on your digital  
answering system, press  
/MAILBOX on the deskset (see page 57).  
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.  
Set 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  
Set the answering system to answer automatically  
You can set each of the four lines to automatically answer incoming calls  
on the main telephone base in two different ways. See the SynJ SB67118/  
SB67138 user’s manual for more information.  
General mailbox:  
The called line rings on every extension for each incoming call. If there is no  
answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message in the general mailbox, which  
a person at any handset or the deskset can review. The general mailbox stores  
incoming messages, memos and recorded calls.  
Auto attendant:  
The called line for each incoming call flashes on every extension, but does not  
ring. Instead, the auto attendant answers. The caller can specify an extension  
or leave a general mailbox message. When the auto attendant directs a call to  
an extension but it is not answered, the auto attendant prompts the caller to  
leave a message for that extension or try another extension.  
Answering system capacity  
The maximum recording time of all handsets, desksets and main telephone  
base is 180 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message  
characteristics. Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages  
remain available for review until you delete them.  
Each recorded announcement requires system memory, so we suggest  
recording a brief announcement in order to leave more space for messages.  
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.  
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to  
Remaining space in the SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s manual.  
Voice prompts  
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup procedures.

Deskset mailbox setup  
Deskset mailbox overview  
Your deskset has its own mailbox which is different from the general mailbox  
on the main telephone base. If you turn on the auto attendant on the main  
telephone base and fast answer mode on the deskset, the caller is able to  
leave a message on the deskset mailbox after two rings. If you do not turn  
on the fast answer mode on the deskset, the answering system picks up the  
call after five rings and allows the caller to leave a message on the deskset  
mailbox, or call another extension or the operator.  
New message indication  
When you have new messages in the deskset mailbox, the screen displays  
New messages. In addition, the new message indicator  
flashes.  
If the notify alert is turned on (see pages 54-55), you will receive a phone  
call at the telephone number you chose each time a new message has  
been recorded.  
There is no new message indication on the deskset when messages are left in  
the general mailbox.  
Fast answer mode  
You can set the number of times your extension rings before the auto  
attendant asks the caller to leave you a message or choose another  
extension. The number of rings can be two (on) or five (off). The default is  
five rings.

system to call this number after it finishes recording a message.  
If the number called has caller ID service, there will be an indication of the

seconds of silence; then the call is ended. There is no message sent and the  
call is only made once. If the call is not picked up within three rings, the

My deskset doesn’t work at all.  
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.  
• Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the  
main telephone base and the telephone wall jack.  
• Reset the deskset. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for approximately 15  
seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the deskset  
to reset.  
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can  
cause interference with your cordless devices. Try installing your phone as  
far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.  
• You may need to purchase a backup battery to make the deskset work in  
the event of a power failure. Please refer to Backup battery installation  
on page 6 and Backup battery charging on page 7 in this user’s manual.  
I cannot get a dial tone from the corded handset.  
• Try all the suggestions above.  
• Make sure you plug the handset cord securely and firmly into the handset  
jack on the deskset and the corded handset.  
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.  
I cannot dial out.  
• Try all the suggestions above.  
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The corded handset might  
take a second or two to connect the deskset and produce a dial tone. This  
is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.  
• 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 corded handset  
before dialing, or dialing from another room with less background noise.  
• If the other telephones in your building are having the same problem,  
contact your telephone service provider.

moved out of range.  
• Reset the deskset. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds then  
plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the deskset to reset.

I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone.  
• For increased sound quality while using the telephone speakerphone, place  
the deskset on a flat surface.  
• Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and  
out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices  
near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the  
other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise  
cannot be controlled, you should stop speakerphone operation and return  
to normal corded handset mode.  
• When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your  
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press MUTE  
to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn to speak,  
remember to press MUTE again to turn the microphone on.

Troubleshooting  
I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I’m near the main  
telephone base.  
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)  
through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between each  
telephone line cord and telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and  
caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference. Please contact your DSL  
service provider for more information about DSL filters.  
• You may be able to improve the performance of your deskset by installing  
your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing  
cordless telephone system that may already be installed.  
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can  
cause interference with your cordless devices. Try installing your deskset as  
far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.  
• Do not install the deskset near a microwave oven or on the same electrical  
outlet. You might experience decreased performance while the microwave  
oven is operating.  
• If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the  
phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this does not  
solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one  
another, or use a different surge protector.  
• Move your main telephone base to a higher location. The phone might have  
better reception in a high area.  
• If the other phones in your building are having the same problem, contact  
your telephone service provider (charges may apply).  
I hear other calls while using my telephone.  
• Disconnect the main telephone base from the telephone jack, and plug  
in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, call your telephone  
service provider (charges may apply).

My deskset does not ring when I receive a call.  
• Make sure that the ringer is not turned off (page 13).  
• Make sure you plug in the power cord securely.  
• The deskset may be too far from the main telephone base.  
• You may have too many extension telephones on your telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other  
telephones.  
• The layout of your building might be limiting the operating range. Try  
moving the main telephone base to another location, preferably to a  
higher location.  
• If other telephones in your building are having the same problem, contact  
your telephone service provider (charges may apply).  
• Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone has  
the same problem, contact your telephone service provider

My caller ID isn’t working.  
• Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from  
your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your phone.  
• The caller must be calling from an area that supports caller ID.  
• Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use caller ID  
compatible equipment.  
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)  
through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between each

• If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so  
that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers. To  
determine how many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone  
service provider (charges may apply).  
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try

that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers. To  
determine how many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone  
service provider.  
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try  
disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult  
your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with  
answering systems.  
The system does not respond to remote commands.  
• Make sure to enter your remote access code correctly (page 61).  
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When you dial a  
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the telephone is not a  
touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.  
• The answering system may not detect the remote access code while your  
announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over  
before entering the code.  
• There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the  
dialing keys firmly.  
The outgoing announcement is not clear.  
• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal  
tone of voice, about nine inches from the deskset.  
• Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while recording.  
COVM shows on the screen display and I do not know why.  
• Your telephone has voicemail indication that is separate from the built-in  
answering system. If COVM appears on the display, then your telephone  
has received a signal from your telephone service provider. Contact your  
telephone service provider for more information on how to access  
your voicemail.

Appendix  
Troubleshooting  
I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.  
• Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail  
indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new  
messages differently (page 50). If you subscribe to voicemail service from  
your telephone service provider, contact your telephone service provider for  
more information on how to access your voicemail.  
Common cure for electronic equipment.  
If the deskset does not seem to be responding normally, do the following (in  
the order listed):  
• Disconnect the power to the main telephone base and the deskset.  
• Disconnect the backup battery in the deskset.  
• Wait a few minutes.  
• Connect power to the main telephone base and the deskset.  
• Install the backup battery again.  
• Wait for the deskset to reestablish its connection with the main telephone  
base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.

Appendix  
Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your deskset contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.  
Avoid rough treatment.  
Place the deskset down gently.  
Save the original packing materials to protect your deskset if you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
You can damage your deskset if it gets wet. Do not use the deskset in the rain, or handle it  
with wet hands. Do not install the deskset 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 deskset 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 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 deskset 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.

product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.  
Safety information  
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on  
the product.  
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock  
from lightning.  
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain  
circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet,  
or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with  
the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power  
outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an  
environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there  
is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such  
environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial  
gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.  
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet  
basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do  
not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid,  
unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has  
dried thoroughly.  
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords.  
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.  
If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 67-74

Appendix  
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 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.  
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 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 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.
