GETTING TO KNOW YOUR NEW PHONE
Your new CL980 telephone incorporates all the best features of a cordless tele-
phone and blends them with your local telephone company’s best calling features,
such as Caller ID, Voice Mail
and Call Waiting ID.
If this is your first cordless telephone, you’ll soon discover that your cordless is sim-
ilar to regular telephones, except without the cord. If you’ve owned a cordless in
the past, you’ll discover that the CL980 telephone is the most powerful and full-
function Caller ID cordless telephone on the market. Some key features are:
❑ 20 channel, digital spread spectrum 900 MHz handset with
speakerphone
❑ 50 Caller ID memory and 50 Directory Records
❑ Dedicated Voice Mail keys
❑ Large One Time Viewing (OTV
®
) display
❑ Hearing-aid compatibility
❑ Messages in English or Spanish
❑ Call timer for outgoing calls
❑ Single key redialing
❑ Preprogrammed for your local telephone company’s network services,
such as 3-Way Calling.
Unlike regular telephones, your cordless does not work during power failures. Be-
cause of this restriction, we do not recommend you have only cordless telephones
in your residence.
