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 cordless telephone system with Caller ID and Call Waiting is designed to give you 
flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless 
telephone system, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this 
instruction manual. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with the Call Waiting and 
Caller ID services available from your local telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting 
phone allows you to:
•  View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
•  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 are on the other line or when you were away.
•  Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get prepared 
before answering a call.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe to 
two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/
Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Caller ID 
with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone. 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.
