A few Hints on the Manual This manual uses several different type styles to help you distinguish between different parts of the phone: • Bold text with"[ ]"indicates a key or button on the phone • ALL CAPITALS indicates text on the display, such as menu options, prompts, and confirmation messages • lower case bold text indicates a status light on the phone Terms used in this manual Base Charging cradle CID CIDCW Handset Standby Talk The main part of the phone that connects to your phone line and lets you make and receive calls. A cradle that charges the handset battery. It connects to power but does not connect to a phone line. Caller ID is available from your telephone provider. With this service, you can see the name and number of incoming callers. Caller ID on Call Waiting is available from your telephone provider. With this service, you can see incoming caller information while on another call. A cordless handset that can be placed anywhere in your home or office where AC power is available. The phone is not in use. (It doesn't matter whether the handset is in the cradle: the [TALK/ flash] hasn't been pressed, and there is no dial tone.) A dial tone has been enabled, so you can dial and carry on a conversation with an outside party.
