Phonebooks
This unit provides the handset phonebook (200 names and phone
numbers; page 20) and the shared phonebook (20 names and phone
numbers: KX-TCD240 only; page 22). These phonebooks allow you to
make calls without having to dial manually. For handset phonebook, you
can assign each handset phonebook entry to the desired category, and
search for handset phonebook entries by name or category.
Handset phonebook category
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, handset phonebook categories (page
20) can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for
different categories of callers (page 37).
Audible call for shared phonebook (KX-TCD240 only)
Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display.
If you record an audible call announcement for a shared phonebook entry
(page 22), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive
a call from that person.
Audible call is available only after subscribing to Caller ID service (page
37).
Night mode
Night mode allows you to select a block of time during which the
handset/base unit will not ring, useful if you do not want to be disturbed, for
example, while sleeping.
Night mode can be set independently for the handset (page 28) and base
unit (page 33).
Digital answering system (KX-TCD240 only)
Digital answering system allows the unit to answer and record calls for you
when you are unavailable to answer the phone (page 46).
SMS (Short Message Service)
SMS allows you to send and receive text messages between other fixed-
line and mobile phones that support compatible SMS networks and
features. SMS features are available only after subscribing to Caller ID
