parties. Customer may consider 3-way calling service (if available through local telco) as

of conference.
Caller Id after 2
nd
ring
Most Telco's send out the Caller ID information between the 1st and 2nd ring. Some
Telco's send out this information later. If the machine answers the call before the
information is received, the Caller ID information will be lost. Please set the number of
rings to a number higher than 2. The customer may want to turn the machine off and
then let a call come in to see when the information arrives. You need to set the answering
system to answer the ring after the caller ID information arrives. Do not set it for the
same ring. If you have voice mail service, set it to answer at 6 rings.
Operating Range 2.4
This cordless operates in the 2.4 Gigahertz frequency band. Radio signals in this band
can penetrate small openings and reflect around obstructions more effciently than those
of conventional cordless telephones. This alows the unit to operate in areas that are
typically difficult for cordless phones.
Your cordless telephone operates at the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, your handset and base can communicate
only over a certain distance which can vary with the locations of the base and handset,
the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
Spread Spectrum Echo
This unit employs state-of-the-art frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology
to achieve one of the longest ranges in the consumer cordless telephone industry. FHSS
is a digital technology that is also found in much more expensive cellular telephones.
Just as it is common to experience echo in some cellular telephone systems, some users
will experience occasional echo while using this phone. The presence and/or level of
echo will depend on the electrical characteristics of the connection between the phone
and user's local central office. This is normal operation. The customer can lower the
volume on the handset and this will decrease the echo.
Caller ID/Call Waiting Services
It may not be enough that the users subscribe to both services, they may also need to ask
the local phone company to combine Caller ID with Call Waiting, so that their Caller ID
product will be able to recognize names and numbers for a Call Waiting call, as well as,
for regular calls. There may be an additional charge for this combined feature. Their
phone company may use names for this combined feature that are not on this list, but
listed below are some of the more generally used names for this combined Caller ID with
Call Waiting service:
·Call Waiting ID, Caller ID/Call Waiting ID - Bell Atlantic
