INTRODUCTION

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for future reference.

Congratulations on purchasing this GE telephone/answering system. This system operates in the 5.8GHz/900MHz frequency range, and is unique to conventional cordless telephones. When the base is connected to electrical power and a telephone line, it can support a cordless handset. And you can place the fully featured cordless handset anywhere electrical power is available.

Features:

???5.8GHz Technology

???Speakerphone

???Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible

???Tone/Pulse Dialing

???Call Transfer

This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this instruction book. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company.

Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:

???View the name and telephone number of a caller while you are on the phone (Call Waiting Caller ID).

???Identify callers before you answer the phone.

???View the time and date of each incoming call.

???Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially in each handset and the base.

6

???Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.

???Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get prepared before answering a call.

IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Caller ID with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause or receive interference with TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8GHz/ 900MHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the User???s Guide for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8GHz/900MHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

CALLER ID (CID)

Caller ID (CID) is a service available from your local telephone company. For Caller ID to work on this system, you must subscribe to Caller ID service. To receive Caller ID information for a Call Waiting call, you must subscribe to the combined Call Waiting Caller ID service.

This telephone system receives and displays CID information transmitted by your local telephone company. This information can include the phone number, date and time; or the name, phone number, and date and time.

9:58 AM 11/24 NEW CALL#01

RECEIVING AND STORING CID RECORDS

When you receive a call, Caller ID information is transmitted by the phone company to your telephone between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on your phone???s display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer.

If you are not at home or cannot answer, the telephone stores the information so that you can see who called while you were unavailable. Caller ID memory automatically stores the call number, date, time, phone number and name for the last 40 calls. If Caller ID memory is full, a new call record automatically replaces the oldest call record in memory.

At any time, you can review the stored information for the last 40 calls. Any calls received since your last review are marked as NEW in the display, to remind you to review them.

REVIEWING CALL RECORDS

As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how many calls have been received.

As you review call records, the display shows you the following information for each call:

???The telephone number of the caller.

???The numeric order of the call.

???The name of the caller, if available in your service area.

NOTE: If a name is received which exceeds 15 characters, the extra characters are displayed for 3 seconds.

???Time and date the call was received.

???NEW appears for all calls that have not been reviewed.

NOTE: Check with your local phone company regarding name service availability.
