INTRODUCTION
Your cordless telephone/answering machine with Caller ID and Call Waiting is
designed to give you flexibility in use and high quality performance.To get the
most from your new cordless telephone/answering machine, we suggest that
you take a few minutes right now to read through this instruction manual.
This telephone is a multifunction product for use with the 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 (CallWaiting 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.
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.
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one
phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.

instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular phone jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured
here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone
company to find out how to get one installed.
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.
After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to nearby 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 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication, and, if properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/
or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the
owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication
include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset
cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

number—you’re just replacing the phone number with a different one.
DIALING A STORED NUMBER
1. Make sure the phone is ON by pressing theTALK/callback button.
2. Press the mem button.
3. Press the number (0-9) for the desired memory location.The number

stored in memory until the desired number is shown.
4. PressTALK/callback.The number dials automatically.
IMPORTANT: If you make test calls to emergency numbers stored in memory,
remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call to the dispatcher.
Also, it’s a good idea to make these calls in off-peak hours, such as early
morning or late evening.
CHAIN DIALING FROM MEMORY
Use this feature to make calls which require a sequence of numbers such as
using a calling card for a frequently called long distance number.You dial
each part of the sequence from memory.The following example shows how
you can use chain dialing to make a call through a long distance service:

might not go through.

stored telephone number. A pause is needed to wait for a dial tone (for
