About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with service from your
local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting 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 Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need
combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can 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 Call
Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product 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.

General Information
The TeleZapper feature in your tz 2526 is a patented device that helps you eliminate many
of those annoying telemarketing calls.
• The TeleZapper feature in your tz 2526 covers all the telephones and an
swering machines connected to that line in your home or office.
• When you or your answering machine picks up the phone, the TeleZapper
emits a special tone that fools the computer into thinking your number is
disconnected.
• Instead of connecting you to a salesperson, the computer drops the call
and stores your number as disconnected in its database.
• As your number is eliminated from more and more lists, those annoying
computer generated calls just about stop altogether.
• The TeleZapper won’t interfere with manually dialed calls, or with answer
ing machines, Caller ID or Call Waiting.
• Once you’ve activated the TeleZapper feature in your tz 2526, keep in
mind that if you answer your telephone and there’s no one there, the odds
are that you just “zapped” a telemarketer. After a few weeks, you’ll notice
that you are receiving fewer and fewer of these calls.
• The TeleZapper even works with your answering machine to “zap”
telemarketers when you are away or when you prefer not to answer the
phone. Whenyour answering machine pick up a call for you, the TeleZapper
emits its special tone to “zap” the telemarketer. We recommend that you
re-record your message and delay speaking for a few seconds to allow
time for the TeleZapper tone prior to the start of your recorded message.
Programming Instructions
The TeleZapper feature in tz 2526 has two levels of privacy to help “zap” computer dialed
telemarketing calls. Your tz 2526 is shipped with the BASIC level of privacy activated,
which will help with the majority of telemarketing calls. At this level, the TeleZapper feature
will emit a single tone, which is the first of three (3) tones for the disconnected signal. The
ADVANCED level of privacy will switch the TeleZapper feature to all three tones of the
disconnected signal and will “zap” even more telemarketing calls. Here are instructions to
switch from BASIC to ADVANCED privacy or to disable the feature.
1. Press PROG/CHAN, then press until the screen displays TELEZAPPER: BAS.
2. Press SELECT. The current option is flashing.
3. Use or to choose BAS, ADV or OFF.
4. Press SELECT to activate the selected option.
NOTE: If you are dialing in Pulse (rotary) mode from another phone sharing
the same line, your TeleZapper feature must be set to either BASIC or OFF.
TeleZapper Q&A:
Q. How does the TeleZapper feature work?
A. The TeleZapper uses the technology of telemarketers’ automatic dialing equipment
against them. When you or your answering machine picks up a call, the TeleZapper
emits a special tone that “fools” the computer into thinking your number is disconnected.
Using The Telezapper®Feature

GETTINGSTARTED
Insteadofconnectingyouto a salesperson,thecomputerstores your numberasdiscon-
nected in its database. Over time, as your number is removed from more and more
databases,you’ll see a dramatic decreaseinthenumber of annoying telemarketing calls
you receive.
Q. How do I know when I’ve “zapped” a telemarketer?
A. If you answer your telephone and there’s no one there, the odds are that you just
“zapped” a telemarketer. Quite often you will see the caller ID from such a call is
“unavailable.” After a few weeks, you will notice that you receive fewer and fewer of
thesecalls.
Q. Do I need one for each telephone or telephone jack in my home or office?
A.No. Onetz 2526 with the TeleZapper feature coversALL telephones and answering
machines connected to the same line (telephone number). If you have two lines, you
needanadditional unit for your other line.
Q.Will it interfere with my computer or fax machine?
A. No. The TeleZapper does not interfere with the operation of your computer, your fax
machineor other telecommunications or electronicequipment. It plays the tone briefly
when the line is answered, then goes to “sleep” waiting for the next call.
Q.Will it interfere with my answeringmachine?
A. No. This isthe best way touse your TeleZapper feature. Letyour answering machine
pick up the line, the TeleZapper feature “zaps” the telemarketer, and you were not
botheredatall!You will need to delay your message for a fewsecondstoallowthe tone
toplay. Acaller who wishes to leave a message onyouranswering machine will hear a
short tone followed by your recording.
NOTE: Withyour TeleZapper feature set to ADV (Advanced), if your answering device
‘answers’ the call before you do, the answering device may not automatically stop
once you’ve answered (if your answering device has an ‘Auto Stop’ feature). You
wouldneed to press‘Stop’onthe answeringdevicetoreturnitto the idle, or sleep mode.
With the TeleZapper set to BAS (Basic), your answering system’s Auto Stop feature
should function normally when you pick up a call.
Q. I have voicemail from the telephone company. Will it work with this?
A. Yes and No. Your telephone must go “off-hook” for the TeleZapper to emit its tone.
As long as you pick up a call, the phone goes “off-hook” and the TeleZapper emits its
tone to “zap” telemarketers. If, instead, the telephone company “answers” your calls
through voicemail, your phone does not go “off-hook” and the TeleZapper cannot emit
itstone. The TeleZapper will notinterfere with the normal operationof your voicemail.
Q. Will the TeleZapper “zap” calls from anyone other than telemarketers?
A. The TeleZapper is designed to “zap” calls made by predictive dialer computers by
doing two things: first, by disconnecting predictive-dialed calls before you can be con-
nected to a live telemarketer, and, second, by deleting your phone number from
telemarketing computer lists. Whether the TeleZapperwill affect computer-dialed calls
fromother sourcesdependson the type ofcomputerequipmentandhowthatequipment
is being used. Therefore, it may also “zap” calls from businesses and organizations
that use predictive dialing systems – not just telemarketers. Many companies and
organizations do not rely entirely on computerized calling systems to reach you. Most
have secondary means in place to contact or notify people with important information.
Furthermore,theseorganizations can always contact you bysimplydialing your phone
number manually. Manually dialed calls will not be zapped. As such, you can contact
businesses and organizations to determine if they use predictive dialers and, if so, to
askthat your phone number be manually dialed or thatalternatemeansbeusedin order
to contact you.
