Connecting the Handset
Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of
longer coiled handset cords, which are
especially useful when you mount the phone
on a wall.
Using the Master/Secondary Setting
• If M is not set on at least one or more
phones, incoming calls might be
disconnected.
• If you connect only one system to a phone
line, set M/S to M.
• You can also connect other CID modules
that do not have the Call Waiting function to
the same phone line as your system, as long
as you do not connect more than four CID
modules total (including this phone).
• If you connect another type of CID module
that has Call Waiting (other than this system)
to the same phone line as your system, the
Call Waiting signal might be garbled or not
received.
Making a Call
If you dial a number over 15 digits, only the last
14 digits appear on the display.
Receiving a Call
• The NEW indicator remains flashing until
you have reviewed all new calls.
• The number of new calls does not change
until all calls have been reviewed and
END OF

appears. The system new call
counter then resets to

Timer
If you lift the handset and don’t dial a number,
the timer appears and starts to count up after
10 seconds.
