Caller ID
About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers.
Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the
caller’s name and number that are sent by your telephone service provider 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 may be necessary to change your 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 may need to
combine these services).
• You have only 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.
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.

Caller ID
Caller ID log
If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear after the
first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the
screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID log.
• The caller ID log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the phone
number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone number has more that
15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more than 15 characters,
only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in the caller ID log.
• You can review, redial and copy an entry into the directory.
• Entries appear in reverse chronological order.
• When the caller ID log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new
incoming call information.
• XX missed calls displays when you have incoming calls that have not
been answered.
• Call log empty displays when you access the caller ID log without records.
• Caller ID log entries are shared by all system handsets. Any deletions made on one
handset are reflected on all other handsets.
• Only one handset can review the caller ID log at a time. If a handset tries to enter the
caller ID log while another handset is already in it, Not available displays.
• For caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the
entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 38).
• If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the
caller ID log.

Caller ID
Memory match
When the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the
corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Linda Jones calls, her name appears as Linda if this is how you
entered it into your directory.
The number shown in the caller ID log is in the format sent by the telephone service
provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area
code plus telephone number). If the phone number of the caller does not match a number
in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below. For customer
My telephone does not work at all.
•
Make sure the battery is installed and charged correctly (page 3). For optimum daily
performance, return the handset to the telephone base or charger after use.
•
Make sure the power adapter is securely plugged into an outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
•
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the wall jack.
Unplug the electrical power to the telephone base. Wait for approximately 15 seconds,
then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and telephone base
to synchronize.
•
•
Charge the battery in the handset for up to 11 hours.
If the battery is completely depleted, charge the handset for at least 30 minutes before use
(page 4).
•
•
Remove and install the battery again. If that still does not work, it may be necessary to
purchase a new battery.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a working telephone.
If the other telephone does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or telephone
service. Contact your telephone service provider.
The display shows No line. I cannot get a dial tone.
Try all the above suggestions.
•
•
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone base and the wall jack.
Disconnect the telephone line cord from your telephone and connect it to another telephone.
If there is no dial tone on that other telephone either, then the telephone line cord may be
defective. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
If changing the telephone line cord does not help, the wall jack (or the wiring to this wall jack)
may be defective. Contact your telephone service provider.
I cannot dial out.
•
•
Try all the above suggestions.
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the handset takes a second or two
to synchronize with the telephone base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second
before dialing.
•
•
If other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring or
telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
Eliminate any background noise. Mute the cordless handset before dialing, or dial from
To register HS and See manual appear alternately on the handset and it does not
work at all.
•
The handset may be deregistered from the telephone base. Refer to Add and register a
handset on page 40 to register the handset to the telephone base.

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 cordless handset by radio waves,
so there is a possibility that the 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. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made
from the cordless 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 televisions 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 often reduces or eliminates
the interference.
•
•
Rechargeable batteries: Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with
conducting 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 the battery. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release
caustic material which could cause injury.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Les simulateurs cardiaques (s’applique uniquement aux téléphones numériques sans fil) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené
une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs
cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des
États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
•
•
Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur cardiaque.
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une
poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche.
•
Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction opposée
au stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs
cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

À propos des téléphones sans fil
• Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui constituent des avantages pour les téléphones sans fil
affichent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le combiné sans fil et le
socle par le biais d’ondes radio ; il y a donc la possibilité que vos conversations téléphoniques sans fil soient
interceptées par des équipements de réception radio se trouvant dans la portée du combiné sans fil. Pour
cette raison, vous ne devez pas percevoir les communications téléphoniques sans fil comme étant aussi
confidentielles que celles des téléphones à cordons.
• Alimentation électrique : Le socle de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branché à une prise électrique
fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne pourront
pas être effectués du combiné sans fil si le socle est débranché ou mis hors tension ou si le courant est
coupé.
• Possibilité d’interférences aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur des fréquences
pouvant causer des interférences aux téléviseurs et aux magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou prévenir de telles
interférences, ne placez pas le socle du téléphone sans fil près ou sur un téléviseur ou magnétoscope. S’il
y a présence de parasites, il est conseillé d’éloigner le téléphone sans fil du téléviseur ou du magnétoscope
afin de réduire possiblement les interférences.
• Piles rechargeables : Manipulez les piles avec soin afin de ne pas les court-circuiter avec des bagues,
bracelets ou clés. Les piles ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et causer des blessures. Respectez la polarité
adéquate entre la pile et le chargeur.
• Les bloc-piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel : Jetez ces blocs-piles de manière
écologique et sécuritaire. Ne les incinérez pas et ne les percez pas. Tel que les autres piles de ce type, elles
pourraient dégager une matière toxique qui peut causer des blessures corporelles si elles sont brûlées ou
percées.
