NTRODUCTION

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 are 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 features of this
phone, 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

electricity, you should have at least one phone in your
home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your
home goes out.
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment,
there are basic safety instructions that should
always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT

To properly connect your phone to your telephone
lines, you will need an RJ11C (CA11A) type modular
phone jack, which 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, 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.

about 20 seconds to reset the code.
