INTRODUCTION
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment,
there are basic safety instructions that should
always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this
product and save them for future reference.
Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific
information, provided by your local telephone company, to
subscribers of Caller ID or similar caller identification
services.
Your Caller ID 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.
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 of the features of this
phone, you must subscribe to either the standard
Name/Number Caller ID Service or Call Waiting
Caller ID Service. To know who is calling while you are
on the phone, you must subscribe to Call Waiting
Caller ID 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
home goes out.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
INSTALLATION
DESKTOP INSTALLATION
NOTE : The handset can be charged facing up or down.
1. Set the RINGER switch (on the handset) to ON and place
the handset in the cradle on the base.
2. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the
bottom of the base and the other end into an electrical
outlet. The in use/charge indicator comes 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.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the telephone line to the
modular jack until the phone has charged for 12 hours.
3. Plug the telephone line cord into the PHONE LINE jack
on the bottom of the base and into a modular jack.

5-2559(black) and 5-2558(white) power supply
that came with this unit. Using other power
supplies may damage the unit.

tone dialing. To change to pulse (rotary) dialing, see
"TONE/PULSE DIALING." If you don't know which
type of service you have, check with your local
telephone company.

TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS
To use this phone, you need an
RJ11C type modular telephone jack,
which might look like the one
pictured here, installed in your
home. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company
to find out how to get one installed.
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 ovens, or VCR. If such interference
continues, move the cordless telephone farther away
from these appliances.
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 20 seconds to reset the code.

EQUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the
Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US
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.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted
by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See installation instructions for details.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company.
• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use
your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local
telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of
your telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you
have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
2 Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network,
the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance
of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances
warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service
immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1)
promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission
pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
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 and
not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the
use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you
adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
