About the Base and the Charger

This product provides you with a base station with corded handset,
a cordless handset, and a handset charger. You'll need to connect the
base to both AC power and a modular telephone jack. You'll connect
the handset charger to AC power only. For more information, please
see INSTALLATION in this User's Manual.

Using More Than One Handset

This system can support up to eight handsets. You must "register"
additional handsets (purchased separately) with the base. The handset
that came with the system (Handset 1) will automatically be registered
with the base. Follow the directions that come with an additional handset
to register it with the base.

Choosing the Best Location

Choose a location for the base near an electrical outlet and a telephone
jack. This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard
electrical outlet (110v AC) not controlled by a wall switch. For optimum
performance, install the base on the highest floor of your home.

About Mailboxes

This answering system has two voice mailboxes. Mailbox 1 is used for
Line 1 and Mailbox 2 is used for Line 2. Some answering system features
are set independently for Mailbox 1 (Line 1) and Mailbox 2 (line 2).

About Caller ID with Call Waiting

This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who's calling before you answer
the phone, even when you're on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact
your phone service provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
• You don't subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can also use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can
use this product's other features without subscribing to either Caller ID
or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
