carefully:
Use only four AA alkaline batteries.
1.
Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this
manual.
Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and
6.
metallic contacts.
Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no user-serviceable
7.
parts inside. Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.
Getting started
Telephone installation
Follow the instructions below to install your telephone. If you
subscribe to high-speed Internet service digital subscriber line
(DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter
between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack.
The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL filters.

Caller ID operation
Caller ID information
Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID function with call waiting feature that
works with service from your local telephone company.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone
number of the caller after the first ring, even when you are on
another call.
This telephone 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 will not be saved in the caller
ID history.
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 waiting 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, 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.
NOTE:
You must subscribe to caller ID with call waiting as a combined
service to see caller ID information for a call waiting call. Check
with your telephone company for its availability.
Appendix
Troubleshooting
The system does not receive caller ID or the system does not
display caller ID during call waiting.
Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features
•
services provided by the local telephone company.
The caller may be calling from an area which does not support
•
caller ID.
Both you and the caller’s telephone companies must use
•
equipment which are compatible with caller ID service.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed
•
Internet service through your telephone lines, you must install a
DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall
jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by
DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for
more information about DSL filters.

Getting started
Battery installation
Before using the telephone, you should install four good AA
alkaline batteries to provide memory backup and enable the use
of some features. The four AA batteries are required for caller ID
features and the
IN USE
light to work. If good batteries are not
installed, the display only works when you lift the handset.
If you unplug the telephone from the wall jack, or you lose telephone
service for over 10 minutes, and good batteries are not installed, the
following information is lost: call list, numbers stored in one- and
two-touch memory, redial list, and all settings in the feature menu. It
is recommended that you initially install new batteries and change the
batteries soon after the low battery icon

Appendix
Troubleshooting
Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse
•
dial or tone dial) for the service in your area. Refer to the
Telephone settings
section of this user’s manual (page 13) to
set the dial mode.
Check that all the telephones connected to the same telephone
•
line are hung up.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same
•
problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact
your local telephone company (charges may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio,
•
or other appliances may 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.
My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the
telephone.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your
•
telephone. Try installing your telephone as far as possible from
the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radio, radio
towers, pager monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers,
kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same
•
problem, the problem is in the wiring or local service. Contact
your local telephone company (charges may apply).
I hear other calls when using the telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack. Plug in
•
a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is
probably in the wiring or local service. Call your local telephone
company.
My caller ID features are not working properly.
Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this
•
service from your local telephone company for this feature to
work on your telephone.
The caller may be calling from an area which does not support
•
caller ID.
Both you and the caller’s telephone companies must use
•
equipment which are compatible with caller ID service.
If you subscribe to digital subscriber line (DSL) high-speed
•
Internet service through your telephone lines, you must install a
DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall
jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by
DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for
more information about DSL filters.

Appendix
Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your 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
telephone outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not
install the telephone 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 electrical 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 the water. If the telephone base should fall into
the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the telephone
by the unplugged cords.
