Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services that most local telephone service companies provide. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date, and time of calls.

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, even while on another call.

•

•

It might 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 might need to combine these services).

You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

CHRISTINE SMITH

888-722-7702

10:01 AM

NEW

11/23

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 companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are from the telephone company along with the call information.

Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 34)

NOTE: 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.

30

Caller ID

Caller ID history

How the caller ID history (call 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 all handsets, so changes made using 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 history.

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.

XX MISSED CALL(S) appears if there are new call log entries

(including missed and unreviewed calls).

CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call log.

NOTES:

1. Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset tries to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

2. Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, in order to view the entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 34). If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it is not saved or shown in the call log.

3. The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. The callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

If the incoming telephone number exactly matches 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.

Chris

888-722-7702

NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format from the phone company. The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears the same from the phone company. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name is the one which the phone company sends.

Appendix F

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.
