want to dial.
• If you see a number with 7 digits (i.e. 555-1234),
then the call was received from within your area
code. However, this does not guarantee the call is
a local call.

1234), then the call received was not from your area
code.
2. Press the DIAL button and the display shows
PICKUP or ADJ. A 15 second timer will also start at
this point on the upper right side of the display,
letting you know the time until the unit will return
to the Caller ID record. If you adjust the number to
be dialed, the timer will reset after each adjust-
ment.
3. To adjust the phone number, press the DIAL
button. For instance, a 7-digit local number
sometimes cannot be dialed because it requires a
10-digit or 11-digit format. Press the DIAL button
repeatedly to scroll through the 7, 10, and 11-digit
numbers.
7-digits:
7-digit telephone number
(i.e. 555-5555)

3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number
(i.e. 425-555-5555)

long distance code 1 + 3-digit area code + 7-
digit telephone number
(i.e. 1-425-555-5555)

complete the dialback sequence.

G ENERAL P RODUCT C ARE
To keep your telephone working and looking good,
follow these guidelines:
• Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances
and devices that generate electrical noise (for
example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping the handset, as well as other
rough treatment to the phone.
• Clean the phone with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive
powder because this will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to
ship the phone at a later date.
REN N UMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating,
among other information, the FCC Registration
number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for
the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this
information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of
devices you may connect to your telephone line and
still have all of these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most (but not all)
areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the
number of devices you may connect to your line as
determined by the REN, you should contact your
local telephone company.

which may harm the telephone network, the
telephone company, where practicable, may notify
you that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. Where prior notice is not practicable and
the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue service
immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business. If these changes are
expected to affect the use or performance of your
