This product has a caller ID function with call
waiting feature which works with service from
your local telephone company.
AM
10:08
02/14
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name
and telephone number of the caller before
answering the telephone, even when on another
call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone
service to use this feature. Contact your telephone
company if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but
as separate services (you may need combined
service).
CHRIS WILSON
*
• You have only caller ID service, or only call
waiting service.
908-555-4321
8/12 10:06AM
• You do not have any caller ID or call waiting
services.
This product can be used with regular caller
ID service, or this product’s other features can
be used without subscribing to either caller ID
or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services, and they
may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the
caller’s number or the caller’s name and number.
This product can provide information only if both
you and the caller are in areas offering caller
ID service and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment. The time and date are
sent by the telephone company along with the
call information.

Information about the last 30 incoming calls is
stored in the call log. You can review the call log to
find out who has called, return the call, or copy the
caller’s name and number into directory.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted
to make room for new incoming call information.
NOTE: Caller ID features
will work only if both you and
the caller are in areas offer-
ing caller ID service, and if
both telephone companies
use compatible equipment.
If you answer a call before the information appears
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if the infor-
mation is provided by your local telephone com-
pany.
If the incoming telephone number matches an exact
number in your directory, the name that appears on
screen will match the name in your directory.
For example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will
appear as CHRIS if this is how you entered it into
your directory.
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the
format sent by the phone company. The phone company usu-
ally delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone
number). If the telephone number of the person calling does
not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will
appear as delivered by the phone company. For example if the
phone company includes the area code and the directory
number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the
phone company.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For
222-3111. In Canada dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly
(page 7).
My telephone
does not work
at all
• Make sure the telephone line cord is securely plugged firm-
ly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16
hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless
handset to its base when not in use.
• Reset the base. Unplug the telephone’s electrical power.
Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base
to reset.
• You may need to purchase a new battery, please refer to
page 7 of this user’s manual.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and
plug in a working telephone. If it still does not work, the
problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call
the local telephone company.
I cannot get a
dial tone
• First try all the suggestions above.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base.
You might have moved out of range.
• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new
line cord.
• If the previous suggestions don’t work, disconnect the
telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a
different telephone. If there is no dial tone on that tele-
phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company.
• First try all the suggestions above.
I cannot dial
out
• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless
handset may take a second or two to find the telephone
base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
• Make sure your telephone is set to the correct dial mode
for the type of service that you have (pulse or touch tone).
Refer to the Installation section of this user’s manual (page
13) to set the dial mode.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
• If the other telephones in your home are having the
same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local
service. Contact your local telephone company (charges
may apply).
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television,
radio or other appliance may cause the telephone to not
dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background
noise, first try muting the cordless handset before dialing,
or dialing from another room in your home with less
background noise.
My cordless
handset beeps

You might have moved out of range.
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the telephone’s elec-
trical power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in.
Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base
to reset.

from these types of electronic devices as possible: wire-
less routers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cellular
telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, per-
sonal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless
telephones.
• Place the cordless handset in telephone base for one
minute to allow the cordless handset and base to resyn-
chronize channels.

Appendix
Important safety instructions
Especially About Cordless Telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone
base and handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cord-
less phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equip-
ment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should
not think of cordless phone conversations as being as private as those
on corded phones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be
connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be
controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the
telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
• Power adapter: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical
wall outlet or a floor outlet. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in
place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-
ference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on
top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or
Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batter-
ies in order not to short the battery with conducting material such as rings,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
• Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. Do not burn or puncture.
Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release
caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries when taken
out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating
local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY for
locations accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led
a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless
telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as
in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from
other persons using wireless phones.
Especially about telephones answering systems
Two-way recording: This telephone does not sound warning beeps to let the
other party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in com-
pliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone
call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party
that you are recording the call.
