User's Guide

INTRODUCTION

Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific information, provided by your local telephone company, to subscribers of Caller ID Call Waiting or similar caller identification services.

Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone enables you to:

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 were away or on the other line.

To get the most from your new phone, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this user's guide.

IMPORTANT: In order to use all the features of this unit, you must subscribe to either the standard Name/ Number Caller ID Service or Caller ID with Call Waiting Service. To know who is calling while you are on the phone, you must subscribe to Caller ID with Call Waiting Service.

IMPORTANT: 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

DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.

When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code. After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base for about 5 seconds to reset the code.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Although you can use your 2-line cordless telephone with a single phone line, you must have two lines (separate phone numbers) to use a two-line system.The following diagrams show two possible setups:

Two Lines on a Single Modular Jack

One type of two-line phone system uses a single modular jack which contains both phone lines. Connect the phone cord to the LINE 1/2 jack on the back of the phone's base.

3.Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the LINE 1/2 jack on the base and the other end into a two-line modular phone jack. For single line set up, see "A Single Line on a Separate Modular Jack."

4.Plug one end of the power supply into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end into an electrical outlet. The "charge" indicator turns on, verifying the battery is charging.

Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours prior to first use. If you don't properly charge the phone, battery performance will be compromised.

CAUTION: Use only the ATLINKS USA, Inc.

5-2530 power supply that came with this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV, microwave oven, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication, and, if properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
