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 20, 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.

Press coin into slot on base of handset to release latch, then remove cover

If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your local phone company, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.

Entry added to phone directory

Caller ID Operation

To add entries to phone directory

When any Caller ID screen is displayed, follow the steps at left to enter it into your phone directory.

Both the caller???s name and telephone number will be entered as they appear in the call log. At steps 3-4, you can make any changes to the name or number by using the Vbutton to erase characters, or using the dial pad to enter new ones (see page 17 for instructions).

When the number is stored, the screen returns to the call log display. The entry copied to your phone direc- tory remains in the call log until deleted.

Phone does not ring

???Make sure the ringer is on (see page 10).

???Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in properly (see page 6).

???Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

???Move the handset closer to the base.

???You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

If you hear noise or interference during a call

???Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

???You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.

???Press CHAN to select another channel. If noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before changing channels.

???Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.

???The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.

???If the buttons don???t work, try placing the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.

???Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele- phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.
