Your cordless telephone/answering machine with Caller ID and Call Waiting is
designed to give you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the
most from your new cordless telephone/answering machine, we suggest that
you take a few minutes right now to read through this instruction manual.
This telephone is a multifunction product for use with the Call Waiting and
Caller ID services available from your local telephone company. Your Caller
ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
• View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
• 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 on the other line or when you were away.
• Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to
get prepared before answering a call.
IMPORTANT:
In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must
subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone
company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is
calling when the phone rings and Caller ID with Call Waiting Service to know
who is calling while you are on the phone.
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 product and save them for
future reference.
