There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,

services may not be available in all areas.

Depending on your service, 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.

It may be necessary to change your telephone

service to use this feature. Contact your telephone

company if:

NOTE: 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

information.

• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but

as separate services (you may need combined

service).

waiting service.

• You do not have any caller ID or call waiting

services and would like to use this feature.

Caller ID operation

How caller ID history works

The caller ID history stores information about

the last 50 incoming calls. Review the caller ID

history to find out who called, to easily return

the call, or to copy the caller’s name and

number into your directory.

CHRISTINE SMITH

The caller ID history deletes the oldest entry

when the log is full to make room for new

incoming calls.

10:01^AM

If you answer a call before the information

appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the

caller ID history.

The caller ID history is stored in the telephone

base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes

made at any one handset will be reflected in all.

NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID

history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter

the directory or caller log, it will display

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be

treated with care.

• Avoid rough treatment.

• Place the handset down gently.

• Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need

to ship it.

Avoid water

• Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset out-

doors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone

base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

• Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic

equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances

during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

• Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for

many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or

a mild soap.

• Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or

standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit

out by the unplugged cords.

Especially about cordless telephones

•

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient

create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the

telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility

that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by

radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this

reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as

being as private as those on corded telephones.

•

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be

connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall

switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is

unplugged, switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.

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 create a short circuit with conductive 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-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries: 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.

Appendix

Important safety information

The RBRC^™Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an

industry program to collect and recycle Nickel-metal hydride 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 Ni-MH 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 recommends to physicians that:

PACEMAKER PATIENTS

• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.

• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as

in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.

• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from

other persons using wireless telephones.
