operation when a fresh 9V alkaline battery is installed.
The 992 has a switchable data port for connecting the phone to another
device such as a fax machine or modem. This phone has a Caller ID feature
which supports Caller ID with Call Waiting service. (Caller ID services are
subscriber services available from many local telephone companies for a fee.)

in low light conditions. The 992 also features a 24-number memory for faster
dialing and has a directory which can store up to 100 additional numbers
with names.

Glossary
Caller ID: Caller Identification is a subscriber service available from most
local telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to Caller
Identification, you can see who’s calling before you answer the phone if you
and the caller are both in areas offering Caller ID service with compatible
equipment.
Caller ID with Call Waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service
which may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe
to this service, you can use your 992 telephone to see who’s calling even
while you are on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with Caller
ID service and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).
COVM: Central Office Voice Mail is a subscriber voice message service
which may be available from your local telephone company. This service may
be called by another name in your area (e.g., Call Answering).
Home Area Code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Most
users simply dial the seven digits of a phone number to make a call within
their own area code and 11 digits outside of their area code. If this applies
to you, enter your own area code into the unit as the Home Area Code.
After programming, if you receive a call from within your Home Area Code,
the screen will display the seven digits of the phone number.
You may, however, live in a region where for calls within your own area code,
you must dial 10 digits (that is, the area code and phone number). If this
applies to you, enter “000”for the Home Area Code and enter your area
code as a Local Area Code. After programming, if you receive a call from
within your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number.
Be sure to follow the directions under “Program Home and Local Area
Codes”on page 21 during Feature Setup.
Local Area Code: Most users dial 11 digits to make calls outside their
own area codes. If this applies to you, you do not need to program any Local
Area Codes.
However, if you dial only 10 digits to make calls to some areas outside your
own area code (without dialing “1”), then program these Local Area Codes
into the phone. Up to four Local Area Codes can be programmed. After
programming, if you receive a call from one of these Local Area Codes, the
screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number. See “Program Home and
Local Area Codes”on page 21 for instructions.
Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when programming
your 992 phone and for scrolling through feature options (E,+,
-,>,<).
Primary Line: This is the line on your phone you designate to be selected
automatically when you lift the handset, press K, or press h.
