Getting started
Installation

You must install and charge the battery before using the telephone.

STOP!

See pages 10-11 for easy instructions.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 14). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL – digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with protective stickers covering the handset and telephone base displays – remove them before use.

The time and date, along with the call information, are from
the telephone service provider.

Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. You can only view a maximum of 15 digits of every caller ID log entry. To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 73).

Caller ID
Caller ID log
How the caller ID log works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to the telephone base and all handsets, so changes made using any handset or the telephone base are reflected in all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID log.

Note: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.

Missed (new) call indicator

When a handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the screen), the missed calls message goes away. When there is a new unanswered call, the missed calls message displays again. The number of missed calls includes all new and missed entries that have not been reviewed.

Robert Brown 888-883-2445

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but still want to keep them in the caller ID log, you can press and hold OFF/CANCEL on the handset for four seconds when the handset is idle, or press and hold CANCEL on the telephone base for four seconds when the telephone base is idle. You will hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID log become old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.
Note: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Smart call blocker
About Smart call blocker*
If you have subscribed to caller ID service, then you can use Smart call blocker to filter robocalls, telemarketing calls and unwanted calls for you, while allowing welcome calls to get through. You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers. Smart call blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks calls from your unwelcome callers. For other unknown calls, you can allow these calls, block these calls, or forward these calls to the answering system. With some easy configurations, you can set to only filter robocalls by asking the callers to press the pound key (#) before the calls are put through to you. You can also set Smart call blocker to screen unknown calls by asking the callers to record their names and press the pound key (#). After your caller completes the request, your telephone rings and announces the caller’s name. You can then choose to block or answer the call, or you can forward the call to the answering system. If the caller does not respond or record his/her name, the call is blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers to your allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.
Notes: ff Smart call blocker is on and in default screening mode, once you install your telephone. It will screen all incoming calls and
asks callers to announce their names. We recommend that you set up your directory, allow list, and star name list before using your telephone with Smart call blocker. This can avoid calls from your business associates, family members
