INTRODUCTION
Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific information, provided by
your local telephone company, to subscribers of Caller ID or similar caller
identification services. You must subscribe to one of these services in order
to use this unit.
Your Caller ID phone enables you to:
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
• View the time and date of each incoming call.
• Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you were away.
To get the most from your new phone, we suggest that you take a few
minutes right now to read through this user's guide.
IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit, you must subscribe to either the
standard Name/Number Caller ID Service or Caller ID with Call Waiting
Service. To know who is calling while you are on the phone, you must
subscribe to Caller ID with Call Waiting Service.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should
have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in
your home goes out.

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11(CA11A) type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one
pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local
phone company to find out how to get one installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs,VCRs and microwave ovens. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If such interference
continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from the TV, VCR or
microwave oven.
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection
against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.
To reset the code, place the handset in the base. The CHARGE indicator
comes on.
