23REMOVECaller ID summaryInformation about caller ID with call waitingThis product has a caller ID function with call waiting feature which works with service from your local telephone company.Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone company 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 do not have any caller ID or call waiting services.This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or this product’s other features can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number or the caller’s name and number. 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. The time and date are sent by the telephone company along with the call information.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM02/14908-555-0100
24Caller ID operationREMOVECaller ID summaryHow caller ID works If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your local telephone company, information about each caller will be displayed between the first and second ring.Information about the last 30 incoming calls is stored in the call summary. You can review the call summary to find out who has called, return the call, or copy the caller’s name and number into direc-tory.When the call summary is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call infor-mation.If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call sum-mary.About names Names of callers will be displayed only if the infor-mation is provided by your local telephone com-pany. If the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will match the corre-sponding name in your directory. For example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as CHRIS if this is how you entered it into your directory.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM02/14908-555-0100Caller’s nameCaller’s phone numberTime of callCall number of call summaryAppears when the call is missed and un-reviewed.CHRISTINE SMITH10:08AM02/14908-555-010002Date of callNOTES:1.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.2.

47AppendixImportant safety instructionsEspecially About Cordless Telephones•Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone conve-nient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and handset by radio waves, so there is a possibil-ity that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.•Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.•Power adapter: This power adapter is intended to be plugged into a vertical wall outlet or a floor outlet.•Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such inter-ference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. •Rechargeable batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batter-ies in order not to short the battery with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.•Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent nickel-cadmium Batteries.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakersCardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to physicians that:Pacemaker patients• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.Especially about telephones answering systemsTwo-way recording: This telephone does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded.
