About Caller Identification
Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who???s calling before you answer the phone, even when you???re on another call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service provider 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
???You don???t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this phone 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 they may not be available in all areas.
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.
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on page 28, for more details about how these features work.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance ??? which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring ??? or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press PHONE.
Move closer to the base, then press PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left ???off the hook.??? To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.

How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.
You can review the log to find out who has called, return the call without dialing, or transfer the caller???s name and number into your phonebook.
The call log can store up to 50 entries. Calls are dis- played in reverse order (most recent first). When the log is full, the oldest entry 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.
Names of callers are displayed only if the information is provided by your local telephone company. If the tele- phone number of the person calling matches a number in your phonebook, the name shown on screen will match the name you entered into your phonebook. (Example: If "Christine Smith" calls, her name will appear as "Chris" if this is how you entered it.)
To review your Caller ID log
The most recent call is displayed first. Use the NavKey buttons to scroll through the list as shown at left.
To return a call
Press PHONE (or SPEAKER) to call the person currently displayed (see page 29 for important dialing options).
To save or delete an entry
Press SAVE to copy the displayed information into your phonebook (see page 19). Press DELETE to delete this entry from your CID log.
To delete all entries
To clear the Caller ID log of all entries, return to the Calls Log menu, then use the NavKey controls to scroll down and select CLEAR CID LOG. To confirm, press YES.

How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.
You can review the log to find out who has called, return the call without dialing, or transfer the caller???s name and number into your phonebook.
The call log can store up to 50 entries. Calls are dis- played in reverse order (most recent first). When the log is full, the oldest entry 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.
Names of callers are displayed only if the information is provided by your local telephone company. If the tele- phone number of the person calling matches a number in your phonebook, the name shown on screen will match the name you entered into your phonebook. (Example: If "Christine Smith" calls, her name will appear as "Chris" if this is how you entered it.)
To review your call log
The most recent call is displayed first. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the list as shown at left.
To return a call
Press SPEAKERPHONE to call the person currently displayed (see page 33 for important dialing options).
To save or delete an entry
Press SAVE to copy the displayed information into your phonebook (see page 23).
Press DEL to choose an option. Select THIS to delete the entry displayed, or ALL to clear the Caller ID log of all entries (to confirm, press YES).
