Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has caller ID with call waiting feature that works with your local telephone company service.
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. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.
NOTE: Caller ID features will work 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.
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 and would like to use this feature.

How the caller ID history (call log) works
The caller ID history stores information about the last 50 incoming calls. Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.
The caller ID history deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new incoming calls.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID history.
The caller ID history is stored in the telephone base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes made at any one handset will be reflected in all.
NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the directory or caller log, it will display
NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will match the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as
Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by the phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers
(area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the person calling does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company. For example if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company.
Missed (new) call indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has calls that have not been reviewed, its screen will show
XX MISSED CALLS.
All entries which have not been reviewed will be counted as missed calls when the phone is idle. Each time an entry from the caller ID history marked
NEW is reviewed, the number of missed calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review all the missed calls one by one, but you still want to keep all the missed calls in the caller ID history, you can press and hold
OFF
/CLEAR
for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history will be considered old (have been reviewed), and the missed calls counter is reset to 0.

About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Voicemail is offered by your telephone service provider
(fees may apply). Your telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voicemail indicators, see page 23. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone company, followed by a security code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press telephone base.

button on the
If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set you answering system to answer after four rings.
Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.
By doing this, 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.

Appendix
Important safety information
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 either nickel-cadmium or 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 may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
