your telephone
conversations.
Place the bone conduction
earpiece against your head
(not your ear).
Try different locations to find
which location works best.
Start with the temple area.
Note:
L The effectiveness of the bone conduction earpiece will vary by the type and degree of
hearing loss of the user.

Important information about subscription services
In order to use Caller ID, Call Waiting, or Call Waiting Caller ID (CWID), you must
first contact your telephone company and subscribe to the desired service.
L For more information, contact your telephone company.
If the Call Waiting Caller ID (CWID) feature does not function:
L You may need to contact your telephone company to activate this specific service, even
if you already subscribed to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services
(CWID).
If you subscribe to a flat-rate bundle service that includes Caller ID, Call Waiting,
Voice Mail, and unlimited local/regional/long distance calls, please read the
following:
L To use the Voice Mail service provided by the telephone company rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the answering system by pressing {ANSWER ON} on the base
unit.
This unit does not have an indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your mailbox
service.
L To use this unit’s answering system rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your
telephone company, please contact your telephone company to deactivate your Voice
Mail service.
If the telephone company cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s
“
Number of rings
”
(page 7) so that this unit’s answering system
answers calls before the telephone company’s Voice Mail service tries to answer your
calls. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to activate the Voice Mail
service provided by your telephone company before changing this setting.
– Change the number of rings of the Voice Mail service so that the answering system can
answer the call first. To do so, consult your telephone company.
