This product supports caller ID services oered by most telephone service
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
The available caller ID information will appear aer the rst or second ring.
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).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are 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
the caller are in areas oering caller ID service and if both
telephone service providers
use compatible equipment. The
time and date, along with the
call information, are from the
telephone service provider.
Caller ID information may not be
available for every incoming call.
Callers may intentionally block
their names and/or telephone
numbers. You can only view a
maximum of 15 digits of every
caller ID log entry. To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and
24 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 77).
Note: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features
without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID log
How the caller ID log works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls
in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The
phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new
calls. This information is common to the telephone base and all handsets,
so changes made using any handset or the telephone base are reected in
all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on the
screen, it does not show in the caller ID log.
Note: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.
Missed (new) call indicator
When a handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and has
new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.
All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each
time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on
the screen), the missed calls message goes away.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but
still want to keep them in the caller ID log, you can
press and hold
OFF/CANCEL on the handset for four
seconds when the handset is idle, or press and hold
CANCEL on the telephone base for four seconds when
the telephone base is idle. You will hear a conrmation
tone. All the entries in the caller ID log become old
(reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes
away.

If the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 digits
of a telephone number in your directory, the name that

For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as

distance calls (see View dialing options on page 76).
If the caller’s name you received from the telephone service provider is all in capital letters, the first letter of every word
remains a capital letter, while other letters become lower case. However, the next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, “D’”,
“C’” or “O’”, is kept as a capital letter. For example, the “D” in “MacDonald” is kept as a capital letter. Another exception is
that “VAN DER” will be changed to “Van der”.
If the telephone number from the caller ID information has already been saved in the directory under a different name,
the new name will overwrite the old one.
If you save a blocked number in the caller ID log to the directory, the original name from the caller ID information will be

Smart call blocker
About Smart call blocker*
If you have subscribed to caller ID service, then you can use Smart call blocker to
lter robocalls, telemarketing calls and unwanted calls, while allowing welcome
calls to get through.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers. Smart call
blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks
calls from your unwelcome callers.
For other unknown calls, you can allow these calls, block these calls, or forward
these calls to the answering system.
With some easy congurations, you can set to only lter robocalls by asking the
callers to press the pound key (#) before the calls are put through to you.
You can also set Smart call blocker to screen incoming calls by asking the
callers to record their names and press the pound key (#). Aer your caller
completes the request, your telephone rings and announces the caller’s name.
You can then choose to block or answer the call, or you can forward the call to
the answering system. If the caller does not respond or record his/her name,
the call is blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers to
your allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.
Notes:
Smart call blocker is on, once you install your telephone. It allows all incoming calls to get through and ring by default.
You can change the Smart call blocker settings to screen incoming calls. For more details, see Control calls without
numbers on page 85 and Control uncategorized calls on page 86.
With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and lters all incoming calls from numbers or names that are not yet
saved in your directory, allow list, block list, or star name list. You can easily add incoming phone numbers to your allow
list and block list. This allows you to build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and Smart call blocker will know
how to deal with these calls when they come in again.
To turn o Smart call blocker, see Set Smart call blocker on/o on page 85.

About Smart call blocker
Call categories
Calls are classied into four categories:
Welcome calls
Welcome calls are calls with telephone numbers saved in your allow list or
directory, and not in your block list. Welcome calls also include calls with caller
names saved in your star name list.
Note: There are many organizations like schools, medical oces, and pharmacies that use robocalls to
communicate important information to you. Robocall uses an autodialer to deliver pre-recorded messages. By
entering the name of the organizations into the star name list, it ensures these calls will ring through when you
only know the caller names but not their numbers.
Unwelcome calls
Unwelcome calls are calls with telephone numbers saved in your block list,
and you want to block their calls.
Calls without numbers
Calls without numbers are calls that are “out of area“ or with numbers set to
“Private“.
Uncategorized calls
Uncategorized calls include calls with absent caller ID number, calls with
numbers that are not in your directory, allow list, or block list, or calls with
caller ID names that are not in your star name list.
Note: The allow list stores up to 200 entries, the block list stores up to 1,000 entries, and the star name list
stores up to 10 names.

About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two dierent types of voice
messages: those le on its built-in digital answering system and those
le at your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your
telephone’s built-in digital answering system messages and voicemail
messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages dierently.
If
and XX New messages show on the handset and the
telephone base, there are new messages in the built-in
answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your
digital answering system, press
/PLAY/STOP on the
telephone base (page 131).
If
and New voicemail display on the
handset and the telephone base, your
telephone service provider is indicating that
it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your
voicemail, dial an access number provided by
your telephone service provider, followed by a
security code or PIN.
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like
voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail.
To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your
telephone service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn o the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the voicemail
service.

About the answering system
Using the answering machine and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers,
as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact
your telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or the answering system
is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller
can leave a voicemail message.
Set the answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers aer six
rings, set the answering system to answer aer four rings. Some voicemail
providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead
of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes,
and the maximum recording time is approximately 22 minutes. The actual
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages
remain available for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored shows in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time
le, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message
playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the
device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the
telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three minutes
to record.”
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,”
before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle
mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back
on if it has been turned o, nor can you record new messages until old ones
have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the answering
system on the handset but there is no memory.

Important safety information
Especially about cordless telephones
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
the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched o or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will oen
reduce or eliminate the interference.
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. These batteries may
be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling
center. Or you may call 1-800-8-BATTERY® for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
