OK → [水]

Note for New Zealand:

- The use of this feature can prevent a National Call from being dialled. E.g., in the case of the South Island, the "03" will be omitted and will therefore prevent a National Call to other areas of the South Island.

Setting call restriction

Note:

• When there is another cordless phone nearby and it is in use, the base unit transmission power may not be reduced.
• Activating one touch eco mode reduces the range of the base unit in standby mode.
• If you set the repeater mode to "On" (page 44):
  – One touch eco mode is cancelled.
• “Eco Setup” is not shown in the display menu (page 25).

Using Caller ID service

Important:

- This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details.

For New Zealand:

- For all local and national incoming calls, your display will show the area code (e.g. 09 for Auckland) or the cellular prefix (e.g. 0274 for Telecom Cellular) followed by the caller's telephone number. An Auckland caller's number will be displayed as 09XXXXXX. The seven X's represent the seven digits of the caller's telephone number. A caller from a 6-digit Telecom Cellular number will be displayed as 0274XXXXXX. For incoming international calls, your display may only show "0000".
