About caller identification (CID)
The Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call. These fea- tures require services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
•you have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need com- bined service),
•you have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service, or
•you do not subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting ser- vices but wish to try them now.
You can use this telephone with regular Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these ser- vices may not be available in all areas.
The 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.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.
If there is a call while the
handset is out of range, it might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press 
/PHONE/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press 
/PHONE/FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone con-
versation, there might be interfer- ence. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range with- out pressing 
/OFF/CANCEL, the
telephone will be disconnected after five seconds.
