See page 4 for easy
instructions.
STOP!
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber
line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 6). The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your
DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the telephone
base display - remove it before use.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to
the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:
• Use only alkaline AA batteries (not included).
• Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like
other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release
caustic material which could cause injury.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit. Do
not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch the
battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
• Use the battery identified for use with this product only in accordance with
the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic contacts.
• Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no serviceable parts inside.
Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.

Caller ID
About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of
the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may
need to combine these services).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available
in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use
compatible equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are
from the telephone service provider.
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s
other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID
Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 65 incoming calls.
Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the
oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. If you answer
a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the
caller ID history.
Missed (new) call indicator
When the telephone is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen
shows XX MISSED CALLS.
16 MISSED CALLS
All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls.
Each time you review a new caller ID log entry
(indicated by the NEW icon on the screen), the number
12:00AM
11/20
of missed calls decreases by one.
When the telephone is in idle mode, you can press and hold CANCEL to clear
the missed call indicator.
29
Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a
telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen
matches the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as CHRIS if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone
service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers
(area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a
number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone
service provider.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.
For customer service, or to purchase accessories or replacement parts, visit
In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
My telephone does not work at all.
• Unplug the batteries and telephone line cord. Wait for approximately
15 seconds, then plug them in again. Allow up to one minute for the
telephone to synchronize.
There is no dial tone.
• Try the suggestion above.
• The telephone line cord may be defective. Try installing a new telephone
line cord.
• Make sure the coiled handset cord is securely installed between the
handset and the telephone base.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a
different telephone. If there is no dial tone on that telephone either, the
problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone
service provider (charges may apply).
I cannot dial out.
• Try all suggestions above.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the telephone
takes a second or two before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second
before dialing.
• Check that all the telephones connected to the same telephone line are
hung up.
• Make sure to set the DIAL MODE to the correct setting (touch-tone dialing or
pulse dialing) for the service in your area (see Dial mode on page 12).
• If any of your other telephones are having the same problem, the problem
is in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
• If you are using the speakerphone, eliminate any background noise. Noise
from a television, radio, or other appliances might cause the telephone to
not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try
muting the telephone before dialing, or dialing from another room in your
home with less background noise.
38
Appendix
Troubleshooting
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.
• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 16).
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in properly (see Telephone
installation on page 6).
• There may be too many extension telephones on the telephone line to allow
all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging one telephone at a time
until the telephones start ringing.
• Test a working telephone at the same telephone jack. If another telephone
has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your
telephone service provider (charges may apply).
• The telephone line cord may be defective. Try installing a new telephone
line cord.
My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the telephone.
• If you are using the handset when this problem occurs, try unplugging the
coiled handset cord and firmly plugging it in the handset and telephone
base again.
• If you are using the speakerphone when this problem occurs, eliminate any
background noise. Noise from the television, radio, or other appliances may
cause the speakerphone to cut in and out. Try pressing MUTE when you are
not speaking to eliminate the background noise.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug
in another corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is
probably in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber
line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between
the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see Telephone
installation on page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems
caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for
more information about DSL filters.
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a
different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in
the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).

• Make sure you have properly installed four working alkaline batteries (See
Battery installation on pages 4-5).
Operation during a power failure.
• This telephone operates during a power failure if a telephone line cord is
plugged between the telephone wall jack and the telephone base. You are
able to answer calls with the handset, and make calls using the dialing
keys. No other features work unless batteries are installed. All settings in
menu options are retained during a power failure if a telephone line cord is
plugged between the telephone wall jack and the telephone base.
• If you neither install batteries nor a telephone line, after a few minutes, the
telephone clears the directory, caller ID history, speed dial memory, and the
last number dialed memory. At the same time, all settings in menu options
change back to their default settings.
My caller ID features are not working properly.
• Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from
your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your telephone.
• The caller may not be calling from an area that supports caller ID.
• Both your and the caller’s telephone service providers must use equipment
compatible with caller ID service.
• If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber
line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between
the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see Telephone
installation on page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems
caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for
more information about DSL filters.
• Make sure the area codes are set correctly (see Home area code on
page 13 and Local area code on page 14).
• Reset the telephone. See Common cure for electronic equipment on
page 41.
The telephone does not receive caller ID or the telephone does not
display caller ID during call waiting.
• Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by
the telephone service provider.

RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two
lines, see installation instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with
coin telephone lines or with party lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment
connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable the alarm equipment,
consult your telephone service provider or qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular wall jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the

may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is
required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the
telephone service provider is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. Your telephone service provider may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone service
provider is required to notify you if such changes are planned.

NOTE: Before calling for service, please review the user’s manual. A check of the PRODUCT’s
controls and features might save you a service call.
Except as provided by applicable law, you assume the risk of loss or damage during transit
and transportation and are responsible for delivery or handling charges incurred in the
transport of the PRODUCT(s) to the service location. The manufacturer will return repaired or
replaced PRODUCT under this limited warranty. Transportation, delivery or handling charges
are prepaid. The manufacturer assumes no risk for damage or loss of the PRODUCT in transit.
If the PRODUCT failure is not covered by this limited warranty, or proof of purchase does not
meet the terms of this limited warranty, the manufacturer notifies you and requests that you
authorize the cost of repair prior to any further repair activity. You must pay for the cost of
repair and return shipping costs for the repair of products that are not covered by this limited
warranty.
6. What must you return with the PRODUCT to get warranty service?
You must:

Limitations: Implied warranties, including those of fitness for a particular purpose and
merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the PRODUCT is fit for ordinary use) are limited to
one year from date of purchase. Some states/provinces do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation might not apply to you. In no event shall the

(including, but not limited to lost profits or revenue, inability to use the PRODUCT or other
associated equipment, the cost of substitute equipment, and claims by third parties) resulting
from the use of this PRODUCT. Some states/provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation
