Using More Than One Handset
This system can support up to four handsets. You must“register”additional
handsets (purchased separately) with the base. The handset that came with
the system (Handset 1) will automatically be registered with the base.
Follow the directions that come with an additional handset to register it
with the base.
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 (110vAC) not controlled by a wall switch. For optimum
performance,install the base on the highest floor of your home.
About Caller ID with Call Waiting
This product has a Caller ID with CallWaiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with CallWaiting 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 CallWaiting,but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service,or only CallWaiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or CallWaiting 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 CallWaiting service. To turn off this phone’s Caller
ID with CallWaiting 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.
