About Caller Identification
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 features 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 combined service)
•You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
•You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press P.
Move closer to the base, then press Pto answer the call.
