IF YOU PROGRAMMED YOUR LOCAL AREA

CODE IN THE SETUP MENU

1.Use the arrow buttons to display the number you 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.

•If you see a number with 11 digits (i.e. 1-234-555- 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)

10-digits:

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

11-digits:

long distance code 1 + 3-digit area code + 7- digit telephone number

(i.e. 1-425-555-5555)

4.To dial the displayed number, pick up the handset before the timer reaches 0. NOW DIALING shows in the display and the number is dialed.

IF YOU DID NOT PROGRAM YOUR LOCAL

AREA CODE IN THE SETUP MENU

2.See steps 2 through 4 in the above section to complete the dialback sequence.

NOTE: If only PICKUP PHONE shows on the display, no other changes to the number can be made. The information sent from the telephone company is known to be a valid number for dialing back (available only in limited areas). Once you pick up the phone, the number will be automatically dialed.

TEMPORARY TONE DIALING

If you have pulse service, you can temporarily change from pulse to tone service. After dialing the telephone number, press and release the * button on the telephone.

MEMORY

Before you store any telephone number into memory, make sure the dial mode is correct for the type of telephone you’re using. The default dial mode is tone (touch-tone), so if you have pulse (rotary) service, you must first change the dial mode. See “Setting the Dial Mode.”

The following buttons can be stored into any memory location: 0-9, *, # and PAUSE (REDIAL). See "Inserting a Pause in the Dialing Sequence" and "Temporary Tone Dialing".

GENERAL PRODUCT CARE

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 NUMBER

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

NO DIAL TONE

•Check all cabling to make sure that all connections are secure and not damaged.

•Check hook switch: Does it fully extend from the handset when it is lifted from cradle?

NO DISPLAY

•Replace batteries.

•Check for proper battery installation.

NO INFORMATION IS SHOWN

AFTER THE PHONE RINGS

•Did you order Caller ID service from your local telephone company?

•Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering.

ERROR MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED

•ERROR appears in the display if the unit detects anything other than valid Caller ID information during the silent period after the first ring. This message indicates either the presence of noise on the line, or that an invalid message has been sent from the telephone company.

•Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering.

PHONE DOES NOT DIAL OUT

•Check the dial mode in the setup menu.

PHONE DOES NOT RING

•Is the ringer switch in the OFF position?

•Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all phones on the same line should not be greater than the maximum REN for your calling area. See FCC Registration Information)

•See”NO DIAL TONE”.

INCOMING AND OUTGOING VOICE

VOLUME LOW

•Are other phones off hook at same time? If so, this is normal condition as volume drops when additional phones are used at once.

TONE FEEDBACK FLUTTER WHEN

DIALING IN PULSE MODE

•This is normal as power is fluctuating with phone outpulsing.

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 telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
