Getting started
Installation
You must install and charge the battery before using the cordless handset.
See pages 7-9 for easy instructions.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone wall jack and an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a

If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area code into the telephone as home area code. When you receive a call from within your home area code, the caller ID log only displays the 7 digits of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to make a call from the caller ID log. If you

Caller ID
About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:
· You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).
· You have only caller ID, or only call waiting service. · You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services. There may be fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.
Christine Smith 888-883-2445
ECO
10:30PM
11/20
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID services and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service provider along with the call information.
The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
note: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use
this product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or
combined caller ID with call waiting service.
About home area code
See home area code on page 18 to determine if you should enter your area code.
Entering the area code changes how numbers are displayed in the caller ID log
and how to return a call from the caller ID log (see View dialing options on
page 43).

Caller ID
Caller ID log
how caller ID log works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 30 incoming calls in
the telephone base. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the telephone
number and 15 characters for the name. Entries are stored in reverse
chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is
full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets,
so changes made to any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you
answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show
in the caller ID log.
note: The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. The callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see reasons for missing caller ID information on page 46).
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the
corresponding name in your directory.

Answering system overview
Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left on your
service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in
answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you
to new messages differently.
· If xx new messages displays on the handset and the message window on the
telephone base flashes, there are new messages recorded on the built-in
answering system. To listen to your message(s), press twice on the handset
(page 64) or press on the telephone base (page 64).
· If and new voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service provider
is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail,
dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by
a security code or PIN.
Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and
call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what
services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service
provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail
service.
Using the answering system and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers, as
described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your
telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or if the answering system
is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller
can leave a voicemail message.
If you have voicemail provided by your telephone service provider, we
recommend setting your answering system to answer calls at least 2 rings
earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail
answers after 6 rings, set your answering system to answer after 4 rings. Some
voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds
instead of rings. In this case, allow 6 seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting.

Answering system overview
Message capacity The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending
on the length of each message. The maximum recording time (including message,
announcement and memo) is 22 minutes. The actual recording time depends on
individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until
you delete them. If the answering system has less than 3 minutes of recording
time left, “Less than 3 minutes to record” is announced before the message
playback and rec mem low appears on the handset screen. If the memory is full,
the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The number of messages and f
flash alternatively in the message window, and rec mem full appears on the

telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see Telephone base and
charger installation on page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID
problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider
for more information about DSL filters.
· Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones, can
cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your telephone
as far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.

electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the
microwave oven is operating.
· If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the
telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this
doesn’t solve the problem, relocate your telephone or modem farther apart from
one another, or use a different surge protector.
· Relocate your telephone to a higher location. The telephone will likely have
better reception when installed in a high area.
· If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the
problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service
provider (charges may apply).
I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone.
· For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
· When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press
to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn
to speak, remember to press
again to turn the microphone on.
· Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out. Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end of the conversation while they are speaking. If background noise cannot be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and return to normal handset mode.

· To prevent risk of fire or battery explosion, replace with the correct
battery type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
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 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.
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

(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. ECo
