Call Waiting
If you have Caller ID with Call Waiting service, the screen will display
information about your Call Waiting call when you hear the call signal. Press
F to access the call. Press F again to return to the original call.
NOTE: If you are using an extension phone when you receive a Call
Waiting signal, the screen displays MULTIPLE PHONES IN USE: NO
DATA.
NEW CALL Light
This light on the base stays on when you have received call information but
have not yet reviewed it. The handset screen displays NEW when showing
unreviewed call information as you scroll through the call history. If you
subscribe to voice mail service from your local service provider, see “Message
Waiting Indicator.” (If the light stays on even after you’ve reviewed all calls,
see the IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY section of this manual.)
Message Waiting Indicator
If you subscribe to voice mail service from your telephone service provider,
the handset displays when there is a message waiting and the NEW
CALL light flashes on the base.
Incoming Call History
This telephone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 99. The most
recent call will have the highest number (for example, if 10 calls have been
received, call number 10 is the most recent, and call number 1 is the oldest).
When the call history is full, the oldest call information is deleted to make
room for new incoming call information.
Memory Match
Names stored in memory will appear in your incoming Caller ID as stored in
your memory. For example, if you store your parent’s telephone number
with their name (“Mom and Dad”) in memory, the Caller ID display will show
MOM AND DAD whenever you receive an incoming call from their stored
phone number.
