2-1. A few Hints on the Manual

This manual uses several different type styles to help you distinguish between different parts of the phone:

•Bold text with “[ ]” indicates a key or button on the phone

•ALL CAPITALS indicates text on the display, such as menu options, prompts, and confirmation messages

•lower case bold text indicates a status light on the phone

Terms used in this manual

Base	The main part of the phone that connects to your phone line and lets you make and receive
	calls.
Charging	A cradle that charges the handset battery. It connects to power but does not connect to a
cradle	phone line.
CID	Caller ID is available from your telephone provider. With this service, you can see the name and
	number of incoming callers.
CIDCW	Caller ID on Call Waiting is available from your telephone provider. With this service, you can
	see incoming caller information while on another call.
Handset	A cordless handset that can be placed anywhere in your home or office where AC power is
	available.
Standby	The phone is not in use. (It doesn’t matter whether the handset is in the cradle: the [TALK/
	flash] hasn’t been pressed, and there is no dial tone.)
Talk	A dial tone has been enabled, so you can dial and carry on a conversation with an outside party.

3) Setting Up Your Phone

Your phone has four basic options that you need to set up first. You should only have to set these options once, and you may not have to change any of them: Dial mode (tone or pulse dialing)

•	Dial mode (tone or pulse dialing)	•	Language
•	CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting)	•	Auto talk

You might change two handset-specific options --ringer type and ringer volume -- more often, depending on the situation. There’s another option, area code, that you should only set if you can use seven-digit dialing (see section 5-3 on Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten).
