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 Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is being received, the phone number is displayed. Caller information for the last 50 callers is logged in the caller list from the most recent call to the oldest.

• If the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:
• “Out of area”: The caller dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service.
• “Private caller”: The caller requested not to send caller information.

- If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be received properly. Contact your PBX supplier.

- If the name display service is available in your area, the display shows caller names. For further information, please contact your service provider/telephone company.

Missed calls

If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. The display shows "Missed call". This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were away.

Phonebook name display

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is displayed and logged in the caller list.

Call waiting and Caller ID compatible

If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your handset displays the 2nd caller's information while talking. After you hear a call waiting tone, the caller's phone number will be displayed.

You can answer the 2nd call, keeping the 1st call on hold.

Follow your service provider/telephone company instructions using [RECALL].

• If the phone number is stored in the phonebook with its name, the caller's name will also be displayed.
• Please contact your service provider/telephone company for details and availability in your area.

For Caller ID Type II users

When you receive a 2nd call during a conversation, you will hear a signal tone following the call waiting tone and the conversation will be interrupted or muted for a short period of time. This is not a fault of the product as these events are normal.

●The tones are generated by your service provider/telephone company.

Ringer ID

This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringers for different callers stored in the phonebook. You can assign a different ringer to each phonebook entry. When a call is received from a caller stored in the

phonebook, the assigned ringer rings after the caller information is displayed. If you select "No Ringer ID" (default), the handset uses the ringer tone you selected on page 23 when a call is received from that caller.

●The ringer may be changed after the 2nd ring.

For service provider voice mail subscribers

To receive voice mail and use answering system properly, please note the following:

- “Voice mail” is a service provided by your service provider/telephone company. You will need to first subscribe or activate this service through your service provider/telephone company. Contact your service provider/telephone company on how to operate this service and how you will be notified that you have messages on your voice mail.

To use this service you will be required to leave your answering machine off on your unit.

This will allow the voice mail to receive any messages.

- To use the unit's answering machine rather than the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company, please contact your service provider/telephone company to have it removed or deactivated permanently or temporarily.

Alternatively you can leave this service connected and change the "Ring count" to a shorter duration on your unit so your unit's answering machine can pick up the call prior to

the voice mail provided by your service provider/telephone company.

Caller's recording time

You can change the maximum message recording time allotted to each caller. You can also select "Greeting only" which sets the unit to greet callers but not record messages. The default setting is "3min".

2 [▼]/[▲]: Select the desired setting. → [Save] → [OFF]

Note:

• If you want to select “Greeting only”, follow the steps above and press [0] in step 2.
  You may create your own greeting-only message by following the steps on page 31.
  The unit plays the pre-recorded greeting-only message asking callers to call again if your own greeting-only message is not recorded.

Message alert

You can select whether or not the message indicator on the handset flashes slowly when new messages are recorded. The default setting is "On".

Important:

- The message indicator will also flash slowly if there are new-recorded voice mail messages (page 36).

1 [MENU] → [#][3][4][0]
2 [▼]/[▲]: Select the desired setting. → [Save] → [OFF]

Note:

●While message alert is on, battery operating time is shortened (page 14).

Voice mail service

Voice mail is an automatic answering service offered by your service provider/telephone company. After you subscribe to this service, your service provider/telephone company's voice mail system answers calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded by your service provider/telephone company, not your telephone. Please contact your service provider/telephone company for details of this service.

Important:

- To use the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company rather than the unit's answering system, turn off the answering system (page 30). For details, see page 34. (KX-TG4391/KX-TG4392/KX-TG4393/KX-TG4394)

Storing the voice mail (VM) access number

In order to listen to your voice mail messages, you must dial your service provider/telephone company's voice mail access number. Once you have stored your voice mail access number, you can dial it automatically (page 36).

1 [MENU] → [#][3][3][1]

2 Enter your access number (32 digits max.). → [Save] → [OFF]

Note:

- When storing your voice mail access number and your mailbox password, press [PAUSE] to add pauses (page 16) between the access number and the password as necessary. Contact

your service provider/telephone company for the required pause time.

Example:

Instructions to customer

Installation

Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a "Permitted Attachment" which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.

Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).

You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.

To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket. You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your equipment.

If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:

1 Loosen screw "A" sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)
2 Remove screw "B" and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)
3 Replace screw "B". (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one 5 ~mm shorter.)
4 Replace socket cover and tighten screw "A". (See Fig. 4.)

TELEPHONE CORD ( Connect to the PLUG as shown in Fig. 1. )

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

Fig. 4

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.

You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be installed.

Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store where purchased or an Authorised Service Centre.

Service difficulties

If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service, carry out the following checks before you call for service:

• Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal telephone.
• If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.
• If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service Difficulties and Faults” for attention.

You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.

WARNING:

This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly interrupt conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
