Information about caller ID with call waiting Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call. It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services). Christine Smith 888-883-2445
You have only caller ID, or only call waiting service.
You dont subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services. There may be fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas. This product can provide information only if both you and
telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service provider along with the call information. The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

The callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing caller ID information on page 47). Memory match If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory. For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is what you entered into your directory. Chris 888-883-2445 ECO 10:30PM 11/20 NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For example, if the telephone service provider includes the area code but the number in your directory does not, the name appears as delivered by the telephone service provider. 42 Caller ID Caller ID operation 16 missed calls Missed (new) calls indicator When you have calls that have not been reviewed, all handset screens show XX missed calls when in idle mode.

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from

Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury. The RBRC Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States.

Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker. WTRs evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.
