About caller identification
Caller ID with call waiting features in
this telephone let you see who’s call-
ing before you answer the phone, even
when you’re on another call. These
features require services provided by
your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service pro-
vider 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 telephone with regu-
lar caller ID service, and you can use
its other features without subscribing
to either caller ID or combined caller
ID with call waiting service. There may
be fees for these services, and they
may not be available in all areas.
Caller ID features will work only if
both you and the caller are in areas
offering caller ID service, and if both
telephone companies use compatible
equipment.
See
caller ID operation, beginning
on page 25, for more details about
how these features work.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates with
the maximum power allowed by the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Even so, the handset(s) and
base can communicate over only a
certain distance — which can vary
with the locations of the base and
handset(s), the weather, and the con-
struction of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you are
out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might
not connect when you press
PHONE
.
Move closer to the base, then press
PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a
telephone conversation, you might
hear noise or interference. To improve
reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without
pressing
OFF
, your telephone will be
left off the hook. To hang up properly,
walk back toward the telephone base,
periodically pressing
OFF
until the call
is disconnected.
