Getting to Know Your New Phone
Terminology Used in this Manual
Accessory
Handsets
Additional handsets that can register to the base, allowing you to add handsets without connecting another
phone line. This base supports a total of six cordless handsets; see page 13 for compatible handsets.
Base The main part of the phone that connects to your phone line and lets you make and receive calls.
Charging
cradle
A cradle that comes with an accessory handset and charges the handset battery pack.
It connects to power but does not connect to a phone line.
CID
Caller ID is available from your telephone provider and is offered to users on a subscription basis.
With this service, you will be able to see the incoming caller information such as name and phone number.
CID/CW
Caller ID with Call Waiting is available by subscription from your telephone provider.

Global
Settings
Any settings that apply to all registered handsets and the base.
These features are available by selecting “Global Setup” or “Day & Time” in the handset menu. Only one
handset can change global settings at a time, and you have to make sure the phone is not currently being
used. If you have multiple bases, the different bases have each global settings; select the base before
changing the global setting (see Selecting the base on page 15).
Standby
The handset and the base are not in use. (It doesn’t matter whether the handset is in the cradle: the TALK/
FLASH or 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.
