Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched 

Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and 

Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment 

published by ACTA.
1  Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number 
and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this 
information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your 

telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number 

is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected 

to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may 

connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local 

telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and 

telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and 

requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular 

plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible 

modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
Notes  

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your 

own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone 

company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of 

your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, 

ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you 

have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone 

company or a qualified installer.

US Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

2  Rights of the Telephone Company 

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone 

network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that 

temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not 

practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company 

may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary 

discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such 

temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; 

and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to 

procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, 

equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the 

operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If 

these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone 

equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to 

allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) 

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may 

cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if 

not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 

interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

equipment and receiving antenna.

• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 

from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an 

experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal 

Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and 

Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. 

Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 

004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
Notice: The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible 

for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Introduction
Your telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high quality 

performance. To get the most from your new telephone, we suggest that you 

take a few minutes right now to read through this instruction manual.

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.

Before You Begin
Parts Checklist
Make sure your package  

includes the following items:

Installing the Batteries

IMPORTANT: You will have approximately 60 seconds to 

replace the batteries before the memories stored in the 

handset are lost. Please read the instructions before 

replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be 

inserted beforehand. As a precaution, you may want to write 

down any stored information you do not want erased.

Your Caller ID phone uses 3 AA-size alkaline batteries for receiving and 

storing Caller ID records and for the numbers you use for memory dialing.
1.  If the telephone line cord is connected, disconnect it from the wall. 
2.  Open the battery compartment door with your finger or thumb.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory 

stores the data for the 50 most recent calls you received so you can see who 

called while you were unavailable. When the 51st call is received, the oldest 

Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your 

last review show as 

NEW in the display. Calls that have not been previously 

reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as 

REPT in the display.
Reviewing CID Records
As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how 

many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:
1.  Press either the 5 (+) or 6 (-)  down button to view the newest call record.
2.  Press the 6 (-) button to scroll through the call records from the most 

recent to the oldest.

3.  Press the 5 (+) button to scroll through the call records from the oldest to 

the newest.

4.  When all of the messages have been viewed, 

START/END appears in the 

display.  

Deleting CID Records

•  To delete the record showing in the display, press the 

delete button once. 

•  To delete all records while reviewing, press and hold the 

delete button 

until 

ERASE ALL? shows in the display, then press the delete button again 

to confirm.

Dialing Back
When reviewing Caller ID records, you may dialback the phone numbers 

shown on the display by pressing the 

dial button. 

NOTE: Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s phone 

number is formatted when it is received, and (b) whether or 

not you previously pre-programmed your local area code into 

the set up menu, you may need to adjust the format of the 

incoming caller’s stored phone number before making the 

call, press the dial button to adjust the number, and try again.

If you programmed your local area code in the setup menu
1.  Use the 5 (+) and 6 (-) buttons to scroll to the number you want to dial. 

•  If you see a number with 7 digits (i.e. 555-1234), then the call was 

received from within your area code. However, this does not guarantee 

the call is a local call.

•  If you see a number with 11 digits (i.e. 1-234-555-1234), then the call 

received was not from your area code.

2.  Press the 

dial button and the display shows PICKUP or ADJUST. A 10 

second timer also starts in the upper right side of the display, letting you 

know the time remaining until the unit returns to the Summary Screen. If 

you adjust the number to be dialed, the timer automatically resets itself.

3.  To adjust the phone number, press the 

dial button. For instance, a 7-digit 

local number sometimes cannot be dialed because it requires a 10-digit 

or 11-digit format. Press the 

dial button repeatedly to scroll through the 7, 

10, and 11-digit numbers.

7-digits: 

7-digit telephone number (i.e. 555-5555)10-digits:  

3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number (i.e. 

425-555-5555)

11-digits:  

long distance code 1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit 

telephone number (i.e. 1-425-555-5555)

4.  To dial the displayed number, pick up the handset before the timer 

reaches 0. 

NOW DIALING shows in the display and the number is dialed. 

If you did not program your local area code in the setup menu
1.  Use the 5 (+) and 6 (-) buttons to display the number you want to dial. 

You will only see 10-digit numbers (i.e. 234-555-1234).

2.  See steps 2 through 4 in the above section to complete the dialback 

sequence.
NOTE: IF PICKUP PHONE shows on the display, no other 

changes to the number can be made. The information sent 

from the telephone company is known to be a valid number to 

dial back (available only in limited areas). Once you pickup the 

phone, the number is automatically dialed.

Memory
Before you store a telephone number in memory, make sure the dialing 

mode is correctly set for the type of service you have. The default dialing 

mode is tone (touch-tone), so if you have pulse (rotary) service, you must first 

change the dialing mode. See “T/P Dial Mode.”
