About the Base and the Charger
This product provides you with a base station with corded handset, a
cordless handset, and a handset charger. You’ll need to connect the base
to both AC power and a modular telephone jack. You’ll connect the
handset charger to AC power only. For more information, please see
INSTALLATION in this User’s Manual.
Choosing the Best Location
Choose a location for the base near an electrical outlet and a telephone
jack. This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard
electrical outlet (110v AC) not controlled by a wall switch. For optimum
performance, install the base on the highest floor of your home and away
from other cordless telephones.
NOTE: 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum telephones may cause
interference with this telephone.
About Caller ID with Call Waiting
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer
the phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact
your phone service provider 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 don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can also use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use
this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or
combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. To turn off this phone’s Caller
ID with Call Waiting feature, see the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This phone 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.

About Call History
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 90. The most
recent call will have the lowest number. When the memory is full, the
oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call
information.
If you answer a call before information appears on the screen, it may not
be in the call history.
Call history information is stored independently at the base and at each
handset. If you make changes to call records in one location, other history
lists are not affected.

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and

the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of
your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully
upright.

ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press P.
Move closer to the base, then press Pto answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might
hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
