INTRODUCTION
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. You must subscribe to one of these services in
order to use this unit.
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 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
home goes out.
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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
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.
INSTALLATION
DESKTOP INSTALLATION
NOTE : For desktop charging only, the handset is able
to charge facing up or down.
1. Remove the battery compartment door on the handset,
insert the battery pack, plug the cord into the jack (inside
the compartment), and replace the compartment door.
2. Set the RINGER switch (on the handset) to ON and place
the handset in the cradle on the base.
3. Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on
the back of the base and into a modular jack.
4. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the back of
the base and the other end into an electrical outlet. The

5-2501 power supply that came with this unit.

prior to connecting the phone for use the first time, it is
better to leave the unit on a flat surface during initial

insert the battery pack, plug the cord into the jack (inside
the compartment), and replace the compartment door.

the wall mounting bracket.
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.
4. Remove the handset from the cradle and set aside. Turn the
base over and align the four slots on the bottom of the
base with the four hook-tabs on the mounting bracket.
5. Insert the hook-tabs into the slots and push upwards
until the mounting bracket snaps securely into place.
6. Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the
back of the base and the other end into a modular jack.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the FCC Registration 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

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.
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.
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

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular phone jack, which
is the most common type of phone jack and might
look like the one pictured here. 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.
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.
