Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
• Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers, tel-
evision sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11) or
other cordless telephones.
• Excessive heat sources.
• Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
• Excessive moisture.
• Extremely low temperatures.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or
work bench.

Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID function with call waiting
feature which works with service from your local
telephone company.
CHRISTINE SMITH
908-555-0100
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the
telephone, even while on another call.
10:01AM
11/23
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).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call wait-
ing service.
• 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. In addition, services
may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, the caller’s number, or
the caller’s name and number may be displayed. 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 your local telephone
company along with the call information.

Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear
as Chris if this is how it was entered in the directory.
NOTE: The number shown in your caller ID will be in the for-
mat sent by the telephone company. The telephone
company usually delivers ten-digit telephone numbers (area
code plus telephone 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 tele-
phone company. For example if the telephone company
includes the area code and the directory number does not,
the name will appear as delivered by the telephone
company.
Missed calls
When a handset is in idle mode with calls un-reviewed,
its screen will show XX MISSED CALLS.

Un-reviewed entries will be counted as missed calls
when the telephone is idle. Each time a call log entry
marked NEW is reviewed, the number of missed calls
decreases by one.
If there are too many missed calls and you don’t want
to review them one by one but still want to keep them
in the call log, press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four
seconds when the handset is idle. All un-reviewed
entries in the caller ID log will be considered old, and

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 base and the
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone con-
versations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment 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: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, 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 batteries 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 accept-
ing 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.

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other
party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compli-
ance 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.
