You may also be required to establish a Skype Out account to make Internet calls to standard telephones. There may be fees for this service. For more information, please visit www.skype.com. Telephone operating range This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance -- which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office. If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not ring -- or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press CALL. Move closer to the base, then press CALL to answer the call. If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base. If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left "off the hook." To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected. 4 Battery installation & charging About Caller Identification Caller ID with Call Waiting features let you see who's calling before you answer the phone, even when you're on another call. (This feature works only with standard calls, not Internet calls, and requires services provided by your local telephone company.) Contact your telephone 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 use this phone with regular Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas. Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. See Caller ID Operation, beginning on page 22, for more details about how these features work. Replace cover Press here and pull down to remove cover After installation, place the handset in the base and allow to charge for 15 hours before use. Note: The screen will be blank until the batteries are charged enough to activate it. You can keep batteries charged by placing the handset in the base after each use. When batteries are fully depleted, a full recharge takes 15 hours. BATTERY LOW PLACE IN CHARGER Low battery indicator Return handset to base or charger when this symbol appears.
