NTRODUCTION

Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific
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 were away.

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 this unit, 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 Call Waiting Service.

IMPORTANT:

Because cordless phones operate on

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
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this

NSTALLATION

Because it is necessary to charge the handset for 12 hours
prior to connecting the phone for use the first time, it is
better to leave the unit on a flat surface during initial
charge before attempting to hang it on the wall.

it back in the slot. You need to do this so the handset
doesn't fall out of the base when it is on the wall.

2. Set the RINGER switch on the handset to ON.

3. Place the handset in the base.

4. Plug the power supply into the base and then into an AC

outlet.

The CHARGE/IN USE indicator comes on indicating that
the battery is charging.

Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours before using
the first time. If you don't charge the phone
properly (for 12 hours) when you first set up the
phone, performance of the battery will be
compromised.

5. After charging, plug telephone line cord into the wall jack.

Then stuff the
excess ine cord
into the mounting
bracket.

6. Attach the wall

mount bracket by
inserting the two
tabs at the top
and then
snapping the tab
at the bottom into
place.
