telephone companies use compatible equipment.
When you use this phone with Caller ID service, you can see who’s calling
before you answer the phone. The phone keeps a record of the names and
numbers of the last 50 calls,whether you answer the call or not. Each call is
numbered in the call history,with newer calls having lower numbers.
When the first call is received,the current time and date are set
automatically (you cannot set them),and are reset each time a new call
comes in.

wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the modular jack.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and
the telephone jack.
• Make sure theAC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not controlled
by a wall switch.

service. Call your local telephone service company.
