For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/
property, read this section carefully before
using the product to ensure proper and safe
operation of your product.
WARNING
Power connection
R Use only the power source marked on the
product.
R Do not overload power outlets and
extension cords. This can result in the risk
of fire or electric shock.
R Completely insert the AC adaptor/power
plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so
may cause electric shock and/or excessive
heat resulting in a fire.
R Regularly remove any dust, etc. from the
AC adaptor/power plug by pulling it from
the power outlet, then wiping with a dry
cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an
insulation defect from moisture, etc.
resulting in a fire.
R Unplug the product from power outlets if it
emits smoke, an abnormal smell, or makes
an unusual noise. These conditions can
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm that
smoke has stopped emitting and contact an
authorised service centre.
R Unplug from power outlets and never touch
the inside of the product if its casing has
been broken open.
R Never touch the plug with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
Installation
R To prevent the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose the product to rain or
any type of moisture.
R Do not place or use this product near
automatically controlled devices such as
automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio
waves emitted from this product may cause
such devices to malfunction resulting in an
accident.
R Do not allow the AC adaptor or telephone
line cord to be excessively pulled, bent or
placed under heavy objects.
R It is advised not to use the equipment at a
refuelling point. Users are reminded to
observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants

Operating safeguards
R Unplug the product from power outlets
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
R Do not disassemble the product.
R Do not spill liquids (detergents, cleansers,
etc.) onto the telephone line cord plug, or
allow it to become wet at all. This may
cause a fire. If the telephone line cord plug
becomes wet, immediately pull it from the
telephone wall socket, and do not use.
Medical
R Consult the manufacturer of any personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers or
hearing aids, to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF
(radio frequency) energy. (The product
operates in the frequency range of
1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF
transmission power is 250 mW (max.).)
R Do not use the product in health care
facilities if any regulations posted in the

external RF energy.
CAUTION
Installation and location
R Never install telephone wiring during an
electrical storm.
R Never install telephone line sockets in wet
locations unless the socket is specifically
designed for wet locations.
R Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or
terminals unless the telephone line has
been disconnected at the network interface.

General notices
R This equipment will be inoperable when
mains power fails.
R When a failure occurs which results in the
internal parts becoming accessible,
disconnect the power supply cord
immediately and return this unit to an
authorised service centre.
R To minimise the possibility of lightning
damage, when you know that a
thunderstorm is coming, we recommend
that you:
– Unplug the telephone line cord from the
phone socket.

This feature allows the unit to reject calls from
specified phone numbers that you do not want
to answer such as junk calls.
When a call is received, the unit does not ring
while the caller is being identified. If the phone
number matches an entry in the call barred
list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the
caller, and then disconnects the call.
Important:
R When the unit receives a call from a
number that is stored in the call barred list,
the call is logged in the caller list
(page 33) with

Using Caller ID service
Important:
R This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying caller
phone numbers), you must subscribe to a
Caller ID service. Contact your service
provider/telephone company for details.
For New Zealand:
R For all local and national incoming calls,
your display will show the area code (e.g.
09 for Auckland) or the cellular prefix (e.g.
0274 for Telecom Cellular) followed by the
caller’s telephone number. An Auckland
caller’s number will be displayed as
09XXXXXXX. The seven X’s represent the
seven digits of the caller’s telephone
number. A caller from a 6-digit Telecom
Cellular number will be displayed as
0274XXXXXX. For incoming international
calls, your display may only show “0000”.
For business users on a Centrex line, your
display will show Centrex extension
numbers in the shorter extension number
format used within your company.
R The Caller ID information will not be
presented on incoming fax calls if Telecom
FaxAbility is used.
Using toll services from Telecom or
another company (for New Zealand)
Your telephone company may charge you for
a local call if the number dialled has the area
code prefix included. If this is unacceptable,
dial only the 7-digit local number. Do not dial
the 0 prefix or the area code.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the
caller’s phone number is displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers is
logged in the caller list from the most recent
call to the oldest.
R If the unit cannot receive caller information,
the following is displayed:
– “Out of Area”: The caller dials from
an area which does not provide a Caller
ID service.
– “Private Caller”: The caller
requests not to send caller information.
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
caller information may not be properly
received. Contact your PBX supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a
missed call and
is displayed. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to see
who called while you were away.
Even if only one missed call in the caller list is
viewed (page 33),
disappears from the
display. When you receive another new call,
is displayed again.
Note:
R Even when there are unviewed missed
calls,
disappears from the standby
display if the following operation is
performed by one of the registered
handsets:
– Being replaced on the base unit or
charger.
– Pressing M
N.
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
phonebook, the stored name in the
phonebook is displayed and logged in the
caller list.
Call waiting and Caller ID
compatible (for Australia)
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your
handset displays the 2nd caller’s information
while talking. After you hear a call waiting
tone, the caller’s phone number will be
displayed.
You can answer the 2nd call, keeping the 1st
call on hold. Follow your service provider/
telephone company instructions using
MECO/RN. (Recall/flash function)
R If the phone number is stored in the
phonebook with its name, the caller’s name
will also be displayed.

availability in your area.
For Caller ID Type II users
When you receive a 2nd call during a
conversation, you will hear a signal tone
following the call waiting tone and the
conversation will be interrupted or muted
for a short period of time. This is not a fault
of the product as these events are normal.
R The tones are generated by your service
provider/telephone company.
For Call Waiting or Call Waiting
Caller ID service users (for New
Zealand)
To use call waiting or Call Waiting Caller ID,
you must first subscribe with your service
provider/telephone company. This feature
allows you to receive calls while you are
already talking on the phone. If you receive a
call while on the phone, you will hear a call
waiting tone. If you subscribe to both Caller
ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services,
the 2nd caller’s information is displayed after
you hear the call waiting tone on the handset.

2 To switch between calls, press MECO/RN.
Note:
R Please contact your service provider/
telephone company for details and

Category ringer tone
This feature can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringer tones for
different categories of callers. When adding an
entry to the phonebook, you can assign it to
the desired category (page 20). When a call is
received from a caller assigned to a category,
the ringer you selected for that category rings
after caller information is displayed.
If you select “Default Ringer”, the unit
uses the ringer tone you selected on page 25
when calls from this category are received.
