telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2)This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving”
the interference).
•Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna.
•Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful
booklet, “HowTo Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.”This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when
ordering copies.

INTRODUCTION
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic
safety instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this
product and save them for future reference.
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.
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 or on the phone.
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 all of the Caller ID features of this
phone, you must subscribe to either the standard Name/Number
Caller ID Service or Call Waiting Caller ID Service. To know who is
calling while you are on the phone, you must subscribe to Call

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.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave
ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base
of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a
TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move
the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.
