L When the battery needs to be charged,  
the handset beeps intermittently during  
use.  
L Battery operating time may be  
shortened over time depending on  
usage conditions and surrounding  
temperature.

Caller ID Service  
Phonebook name display  
Using Caller ID service  
When caller information is received and it  
matches a phone number stored in the  
phonebook, the stored name is displayed  
and logged in the caller list.  
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use  
Caller ID features (such as displaying  
caller phone numbers), you must  
subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult  
your service provider/telephone company  
for details.  
Call waiting and Caller ID  
compatible  
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.  
Caller ID features  
When an outside call is being received, the  
calling party’s telephone number is  
displayed.  
Telephone numbers for the last 50 different  
callers are logged in the caller list by the  
most recent call to the oldest.  
You can answer the 2nd call, keeping the  
1st call on hold.  
Follow your service provider/telephone  
company instructions using {RECALL}.  
L If the phone number is stored in the  
phonebook with its name, the caller’s  
name will also be displayed.  
L If the unit cannot receive caller  
information, the following is displayed:  
– “Out of area”: The caller dialled  
from an area which does not provide  
Caller ID service.  
– “Private caller”: The caller  
requested not to send caller  
information.  
L Please contact your service provider/  
telephone company for details and  
availability in your area.  
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,  
caller information may not be received  
properly. Consult your PBX supplier.  
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.  
L If the name display service is available in  
your area, the display shows caller  
names. For further information, please  
contact your service provider/telephone  
company.  
L The tones are generated by your service  
provider/telephone company.  
Missed calls  
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the  
call as a missed call. The number of  
missed calls is shown on the handset  
display. This lets you know if you should  
view the caller list to see who called while  
you were out.

Instructions to customer  
Installation  
Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted  
Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.  
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are  
contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).  
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line  
socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or  
to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.  
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket.  
You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your  
equipment.  
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove  
the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:  
1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)  
2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)  
3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket  
recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one  
5 mm shorter.)  
4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Useful Information  
If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your  
Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.  
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists  
only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a  
modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be installed.  
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty  
or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store  
where purchased or an Authorised Service Centre.  
Service difficulties  
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service, carry out the following checks  
before you call for service:  
L Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal  
telephone.  
L If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted  
Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its  
supplier or agent to arrange for repair.  
L If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service  
Difficulties and Faults” for attention.  
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is  
connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be  
modified in any way without permission.  
WARNING:  
This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of  
conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone  
systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt  
conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
