Caller ID Features
Caller ID (CID) is a service available from your local telephone company. For Caller
ID to work on this system, you must subscribe to Caller ID service. To receive
Caller ID information for a Call Waiting call, you must subscribe to the combined

When your telephone rings, and you are subscribed to Caller ID Call Waiting
service, you will receive information (if available) transmitted by your local
telephone company. You will also receive Caller ID information from Call Waiting
calls. If you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, a beep
indicates the presence of a Call Waiting Call on the line, and Caller ID information
for the Call Waiting call shows on the display. This information may include the
phone number, date and time; or the name, phone number, and date and time.

Introduction
CAUTION:
When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for
future reference.
Your cordless telephone system with Caller ID and Call Waiting is designed to give
you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new
cordless telephone system, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to
read through this instruction manual. This telephone is a multifunction product
for use with the Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local
telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
• View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
• View the time and date of each incoming call.
• Record up to 20 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you are on the other line or when you
were away.
• Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get
prepared before answering a call.
IMPORTANT:
In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must
subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone company:
the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when
the phone rings and Caller ID with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling
while you are on the phone. Because cordless phones operate on electricity,
you should have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the
power in your home goes out.
Before You Begin
Parts Checklist
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular
telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here,
installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular jack,
call your local phone company to find out how to get one
installed.
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to
protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code. After
a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base
for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
INSTALLATION NOTE:
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause or receive interference with nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs.
To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV, microwave oven, or VCR. If such
interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these
appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 900 MHz
frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may
interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned
with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how
to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the
900 MHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders,
wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some
long-range cordless telephone systems.
4. Insert the battery pack.
5. Close the battery compartment by pushing the door up until it snaps into place.
6. Place the handset in the charging cradle.
