3) Setting Up Your Phone
Your phone has four basic options that you need to set up first. You should only have to set these options once,
and you may not have to change any of them:
•
•
Dial mode (tone or pulse dialing)
CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting)
•
•
Language
Auto talk
You might change two handset-specific options --ringer type and ringer volume -- and one base setting –
ringer volume --more often, depending on the situation. There’s another option, area code, that you should only
set if you can use seven-digit dialing (see section 5-3 on Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten).
3-1. System Options (from HS1 only)
These options can only be changed from handset 1 (HS1). After changing these settings, you must put HS 1
back in the base cradle to activate them.
Changing from tone to pulse dialing (DIAL)
Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing or pulse dialing.
These days, most phone networks use a method called tone dialing, so your phone comes programmed for tone
dialing.
If your phone company uses pulse dialing, you need to change your phone’s dial settings. If you don't get a dial
tone or can't connect to the telephone network, follow the steps below to modify your phone’s settings:
1) Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS 1).
2) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
3) Press [ ] to move the pointer to DIAL.
4) Press [select/channel] to set the phone to pulse dialing.
5) Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. Handset 1 communicates the new setting to the
base, and the base activates the setting on any other handsets.
Note: If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call (if you're using an automated
response system, for example), press [ /tone/ ] to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call
ends, the phone automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.
Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW)
You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local telephone provider to use this feature.
Caller ID allows you to see the name and number of the calling party before you answer the phone. Caller ID on
Call Waiting (CIDCW) lets you see the name and number of a call that comes in when you are on the line.
1) Make sure you have Handset 1 (HS 1).
2) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
3) Press [ ] to move the pointer to CIDCW.
4) Press [select/channel] to toggle and turn on Caller ID on Call Waiting.
5) Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. Handset 1 communicates the new setting to the
base, and the base activates the setting on any other handsets.
3-2. Handset-specific Options
These options can be set differently on each handset. You can also set these options while another handset is
using the phone.
Setting the display language (LANGUAGE)
The handset menus can use English (ENG, default), French (FR) or Spanish (ESP).
1) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2) Press [ ] to move the pointer to LANGUAGE.
3) Press [select/channel] to select ENG, FR. or ESP.
4) When the display shows the language you want, use [
/
] and [ ] to move the pointer to another
menu item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
Note: To change the language used by the answering system, see Section 7-1 on Setting Up the Answering
System.
Activating AutoTalk (AUTO TALK)
With Auto Talk, you can answer the phone just by picking up the handset from the cradle: you don’t have to
press any keys. If the handset is already off the cradle, Auto Talk also lets you answer by pressing any key on the
twelve-key dial pad (instead of just [TALK/flash]).
1) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2) Press [ ] to move the pointer to AUTO TALK.
3) Press [select/channel] to turn Auto Talk on.
4) Use [
/
] and [ ] to move the pointer to another menu item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
Setting the ringer tone (RINGER)
You can set the ring tone separately for each handset.
1) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2) Press [select/channel] to rotate through the four available ring tones (A, B, C, and D). As you switch to
the next ring tone, the handset sounds a sample of that ringer.
3) When you hear the ringer you want, use [
/
] and [ ] to move the pointer to another menu item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
The handset will use the new ring tone starting with the next incoming call.
Setting the handset ringer volume (RING.VOL.)
You can choose from three ringer volume settings separately for each handset. To turn the ringer off, select
RINGER OFF.
1) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2) Press [ ] to move the pointer to RING VOL.
3) Press [select/channel] to rotate through the three available volume levels (HIGH, LOW, and OFF). As you
switch to the next volume level, the handset sounds a sample of the current ring tone at that level.
4) When you hear the volume level you want, use [
/
] and [ ] to move the pointer to another menu
item.
OR
If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
The handset will use the new ringer volume starting with the next incoming call.
Note: If you set the ring volume to OFF, this handset won’t ring. The base and other handset(s) will ring
according to their individual settings.
3-3. Setting the Base Ringer Volume
You can change the base ringer volume with the phone in standby or while the phone is already ringing.
1) On the base, press [ringer]. The message counter display shows the current volume level (Hi = high, Lo =
low, OF = off) and sounds the ringer at that level. If the volume level is off, the voice prompt announces
“Ringer off.”
2) Press [ringer] immediately to switch to the next volume level. As you switch to the next volume level, the
base sounds the ringer at that level and shows that level in the message counter display.
3) When you hear the ringer volume level you want to use, stop pressing [ringer].
Note: If you turn the ringer volume off, the base won’t ring. The handsets will ring according to their individual
settings.

5) Using Caller ID and Call Waiting
If you subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company, your phone will show you the caller's phone number and
name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to both Call Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also
shows you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you're on the line.

214-555-1234
Note: If you answer a call before the Caller ID record is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller
ID record will not appear.
The phone stores the Caller ID information for up to thirty incoming calls - even unanswered calls. If the phone
receives more Caller ID records than it can store, the oldest record in the list is automatically deleted. For
information on storing Caller ID records in the phonebook, see section 6-6.
5-1. Reviewing the Caller ID Record List
You can review the Caller ID list when the handset is in standby or during a call.
1) Press [cid/menu]. The summary screen displays the total number of
Caller ID
CID records along with the number of new CID records (that is, calls
that you haven't reviewed yet).
2) Use [ ] to scroll through the records from the latest to the earliest,
New :01
Total:17
or use [
/
] to scroll through the records from the earliest to the
latest.
3) Press [cid/menu] to exit the Caller ID list.
For new Caller ID records, the phone keeps a count of the number of calls
received from the same caller (instead of saving the information multiple
times). The Caller ID record shows the time and date of the most recent call
from that number, and the number of calls appears next to the received
time. The phone only maintains this count for new or “unviewed”records:
once you review that record, the number is cleared.

5-2. Making a Call from the Caller ID List
1) With the phone in standby, press [cid/menu].
2) Use [
/
] or [ ] to find the Caller ID record you want to call.
3) If you need to add or delete a “1”from the displayed phone number, press [1].
What’s this “add or delete a 1”about?
•
Any phone number in the Caller ID records might (or might not!) have a“1”at the front, depending on how
different phone companies send the Caller ID information.
•
•
The phone dials the number exactly as it appears in the Caller ID record.
If the phone number is a long distance or toll call, but the Caller ID record does not have a “1”in front of
the number, press [1] to add it.
•
If the phone number is a local or non-toll call, but the Caller ID record has a “1”in front of the number,
press [1] to delete it.
4) Press [TALK/flash] or [
Note: You can also press [TALK/flash] or [
] to dial the number.
] before you access the Caller ID list. When you come to the
phone number you want to dial, press [select/channel].
5-3. Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten
If you can make a local call by dialing only seven digits instead of ten, you can tell the phone to hide your local
area code in the Caller ID list; any calls from outside your area code will show all ten digits.
Entering your area code
You can enter the area code in each handset separately (for example, if you want to hide the area code on one
handset but not another):
1) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].
2) Press [ ] to move the pointer to select AREA CODE. If an area code was already stored, the handset will
display it.
3) Press [select/channel] to edit the area code.
4) Use the number keys ([0] – [9]) to enter all three digits of your area code.
If you make a mistake, press [delete/transfer] to erase the last digit.
5) When the number is correct, press [select/channel]. A confirmation tone sounds.
6) Press [END]. The handset returns to standby.
•
The phone uses the stored area code as a filter. When a call comes in, the phone compares the incoming area
code to the code programmed in the handset. If the two codes match, the handset hides the area code in the
Caller ID list.
•
When you’re in the Caller ID list, you can show the hidden area code by pressing [3]. Press [3] again to hide
the area code.
When you dial from a Caller ID list or store a Caller ID record in the phonebook, the phone dials or stores the
digits exactly as they appear on the display. If you need to use ten digits, be sure to press [3] to show the area
code before you dial or store the number. See Section 6-6 Storing Caller ID Records in the Phonebook.
5-4. Deleting Caller ID Records
•
Caller ID records are stored separately in each handset. Deleting a record from one handset will not delete
the record from any other handsets.

6) Using the Phonebook (speed dial memory)
•
•
•
If you enter phone numbers (along with names) into the handset’s phonebook/speed dial memory, you can
dial them with just two key presses.
Each handset can store ten different phonebook entries (corresponding to 0 through 9 on the number
keypad); phonebook entries are separate for each handset.
You can use the phonebook to store any number up to twenty digits. This is useful if you have a series of
digits that you need to enter after your call connects, such as an access code or account number (See section
6-7 on Chain Dialing).
•
When you’re editing the phonebook, you must press a key within thirty seconds or the phone will return to standby.

10-2. Re-registering Handsets
When you first put your handsets into the base, they are registered to the base so they can communicate with
the base. There may be some times when you have to re-register your handsets to the base:
•
•
•
When you want to change the handset-to-base code.
When there is a power failure that lasts more than one hour.
If a handset's battery is completely discharged. (The handset must be recharged for 15 - 20 hours before re-
registering to the base.)
•
Any time you experience difficulty connecting to the base to make or receive calls.
To re-register handsets:
1) Pick up the handset from the base. Press and hold [find hs] on the base.
2) While holding [find hs], place the handset in the base. The charge/in use LED on the base begins to
flash, indicating the base is registering the handset. Wait for at least five seconds.
3) Pick up the handset from the base and press [TALK/flash]. If the display shows TALK, the handset is
registered. If not, place the handset in the base to try again.
4) Press [END].
5) One by one, place each handset in the base and wait for at least five seconds. (You don't need to hold [find
hs] this time.) Repeat steps 3 - 4.
10-3. Changing the Handset-to-base Code
The handset-to-base code prevents other cordless devices from accidentally connecting to your base. If the
battery pack is completely discharged or removed, the handset can "forget" the handset-to-base code, and the
handset will not be able to communicate with the base.
If any one of handsets can't communicate with the base, place that handset in the base cradle to reset the code.
Wait at least five seconds, then pick up the handset and press [TALK/flash]. If the display shows TALK, the code
is reset.
If the code does not reset or if you suspect another cordless telephone might be using the same code (a rare
situation), you can change the handset-to-base code completely. Re-register all handsets to the base following
the instructions in section 10-2 on Re-registering Handsets above. Any handsets that are not properly re-
registered may not be able to communicate with the base.
10-4. Traveling Out of Range
During a call, as you begin to move your handset too far from your base noise increases. If you pass the range
limits of the base, your call will terminate within one minute.
10-5. Liquid Damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone.
•
If the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, but only the exterior plastic housing is affected, wipe
off the liquid, and use as normal.
•

During the period that the power is off, you will not be able to make or receive calls with the telephone.
10-8. Battery Information
Average battery life
With average use, your handset battery provides approximately six hours of talk time and approximately seven
days of standby time. You can achieve optimum battery life and performance by returning the handset to the
cradle after each use. When your handset is left off of the cradle, the battery will gradually discharge even if the
handset is not being used. The actual talk time duration will be reduced in proportion to the amount of time the
handset is off the cradle.
Low battery alert
When the battery pack is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is
programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the phone is
not in use, LOW BATTERY CHARGE HANDSET appears on the LCD, and none
of the keys will operate. During a call, the handset beeps, and the LCD
flashes LOW BATTERY. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible
and return the handset to the cradle for charging.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certification for the jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C)
in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone
line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is
a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for

NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges, typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very
destructive to telephone equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from these types of surges, a surge
arrestor is recommended.

Cordless telephone privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your cordless telephone are
accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical
properties of radio waves, your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless
telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.
