Caller ID
About the caller ID
This telephone supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers offer. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider after the first or second ring. Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.
•
•
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 telephone, and while on another call.
It might be necessary to change 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 might need to combine these services).
You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. 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. To view caller ID log entries with numbers more than 12 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 66).
•
•
NOTES:
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you set (See Area codes on page 36 for explanations and instructions on area code settings).

Caller ID
Caller ID information
How the caller ID information (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 200 incoming calls in the handset. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.
Each extension has independent caller ID information. Deleting the caller ID information on any one extension does not affect the caller ID information on other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID information.
If there are more than one caller ID appears on the handset at the same time, press or to view the caller ID.
Review the caller ID information to determine who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.
NEW indicator turns on and XX Missed call(s) appears if there are new call log entries (including new or missed calls).
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone number are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until the caller hangs up, or until the call has been answered at another extension, or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the time and date each time new call information is received.
•
•
NOTES:
The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
Each entry can store up to 30 digits for the telephone number and 17 characters for the name. If the telephone number has more than 12 digits, only the last group of digits within the limit displays. You need to save the entry first in order to review the entire number.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with 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 you see on your caller ID is in the format from the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number).
The telephone system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first corresponding number from the directory.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When the handset is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, it displays
XX Missed call(s) .
All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call history entry with the icon new , the number of missed calls decreases by one.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
•
•
•
•
Your telephone base contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the corded handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone base if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
• You can damage your telephone base if it gets wet. Do not use the corded handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base 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 electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
• Your telephone base 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 water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL
YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.
Safety information
• Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on the product.
• Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
• Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
• Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords.
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
• If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section on pages 59-. Do not open this product except as directed in your user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.

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 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.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (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.
Especially about telephone answering systems
Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.

Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional telephone service.
Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on your computer. Do not plug it into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is not powered.
In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough power. Try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone service provider. Contact your service provider for more information.
