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 caller ID history 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 calls 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.

Contact your local telephone company.

• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.

46

Appendix

Troubleshooting

I cannot dial out

• First try all the suggestions above.

• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset may take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is normal.

Wait an extra second before dialing.

• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other appliances may cause the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.

Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

My cordless handset isn’t performing normally

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the unit into a different, working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

I get noise, static, or weak signal even when I’m near the telephone base

• If you subscribe to high-speed internet service (Digital

Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must have a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack (see page 5). The filter will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

• You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone by installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other existing cordless telephone system that may already be installed.

• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following electronic devices as possible: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.

• Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the microwave oven is operating.

• If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from one another, or use a different surge protector.

• Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will likely have better reception when not installed in a low area.

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.

Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Appendix

Troubleshooting

I hear other calls while using my phone

• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack, and plug in a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.

My cordless handset does not ring when I receive a call

• Make sure that the ringer is not turned off. Refer to the section(s) on ringer selection in this user’s manual.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged securely into the telephone base and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.

• The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base.

• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least

16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to its base when not in use.

• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the other phones.

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.

• If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in your wiring or local service.

Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

• Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the same problem, the problem is the phone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

Maintenance

•

•

Taking care of your telephone

• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.

Avoid rough treatment.

Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

Avoid water

• Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors 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 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.

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 or 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.

56

Appendix

Important safety information

•

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.
