About Caller Identification  
Telephone operating range  
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.  
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.  
Contact your telephone service  
provider if:  
• You have both Caller ID and Call  
Waiting, but as separate services  
(you may need combined service)  
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.  
• You have only Caller ID service, or  
only Call Waiting service  
Telephone base  
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller  
ID or Call Waiting services.  
Telephone handsets  
Handset charger  
If you move out of range during a  
phone conversation, you might hear  
noise or interference. To improve  
reception, move closer to the base.  
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.  
Power  
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.

Batteries (2)  
Belt clips  
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.

Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by  
a wall switch.

2400 MHz — 2483 MHz  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit  
and the modular jack.

If you have dial-pulse telephone service, make sure the dial mode is  
set to Pulse (see page 14).  
Channel Spacing

GFSK  
If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and re-  
insert the batteries, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.  
Make sure the ringer is on (see page 13).  
Phone does not  
ring  
Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in  
properly (see page 6).  
Modulation  
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.  
Operating Temperature  
32°F — 122°F  
0°C — 50°C  
Base Unit Voltage  
(AC Voltage, 60Hz)  
96 — 130 Vrms  
You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.  
If you hear  
noise or  
interference  
during a call  
Base Unit Voltage  
7 — 13 Vdc @400 mA  
3.2 — 4.7 Vdc @600 mAh  
(AC Adapter Output)  
Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause  
interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.  
Handset Voltage  
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.
