About caller ID
The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone let you see the name and telephone number
of the caller before answering the call, even when you’re already on a call. These features require
services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone company 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, or
• you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try these services.
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its other features without
subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There may be fees for
these services, and these services may not be available in all areas.
The 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.

Installation
If you subscribe to DSL service
If there is interference during telephone conversations and/or your caller ID features are not functioning
properly, install a DSL filter to the telephone line between the telephone base and the telephone wall
jack. To obtain a DSL filter and more information about DSL interference, contact your DSL service
provider.
•
Most DSL
providers
recommend
installing a DSL
filter in every
telephone jack.

Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with 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 layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display Searching. The user can access the handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system, i.e. handset setting and registration, but not
the time setting and base setting. Not possible will be displayed if access is tried.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press TALK/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press
TALK/FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the base.
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 protect 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 outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your 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, use 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 your 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.
About cordless telephones
•
Privacy: the same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless 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. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot
be made from the cordless 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 televisions 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 father away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25 channel cordless telephones only).
•
•
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-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.

•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
