About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
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 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.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they 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.

TELEPHONE OPERATION
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with
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.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not
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.
If you move out of range without pressing O, your phone will be
left “off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically
pressing O.

Charging the Handset Battery Pack
This battery should remain charged up to six days with the ringer turned
on and up to 12 days with the ringer off. A fully charged battery provides
an average talk time of about five hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
• A new battery is installed in the handset.
• The phone beeps twice every 16 seconds.
• The screen displays LOW BATTERY and the low battery icon.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on. The battery
pack is typically fully charged in eight hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the
base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after charging
overnight, the battery should be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or
damage to the telephone, read and follow these instructions
carefully:
• Use only Replacement Battery 3301 (SKU# 91076).
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might explode.
Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery
with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The
battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
• Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this
product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations
specified in this manual.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and
battery charger.
