How caller ID works
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your local telephone
company, information about each caller appears between the first
and second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information
appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
• The caller ID history stores information about the last 80
incoming calls. Each call can hold up to 13 digits for the
telephone number and 16 characters for the name. If the number
has more than 13 digits, only the first 13 digits are shown and
saved in the call log. If the name has more than 16 characters,
only the first 16 characters are shown and saved in the call log.
• Calls stored in caller ID history appear in reverse chronological
order.
• You can review the call log to find out who has called, and to
return the call without dialing the number.
• TOTAL XX NEW XX displays when there is new call information
(including missed and unreviewed calls).

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must
be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials
to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the
telephone outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not
install the telephone near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to
electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when
using electrical appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain
its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or
cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in the water. If the telephone base should fall into
the water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then remove the telephone
by the unplugged cords.
