Notes:
If you enter the correct remote operation
security code several times, but the sys-
tem does not accept it, the code might
have reset because of low battery
power. Try entering the default security
code 000. If this works, replace the sys-
tem’s backup battery and set the secu-
rity code as desired when you return to
the system’s location.
If you do not have CPC service and
hang up while the system is playing back
messages, the system might not recog-
nize that you hung up. If someone calls
while the system continues playing mes-
sages, the caller hears a busy signal.
We recommend that you stop and exit
remote commands until the system
beeps once before you hang up.

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive.
The system displays this information and
stores up to 99 numbers only or name and
number call records in its Caller ID memory,
then replaces the oldest call record with each
new one.
During an incoming call,
D;M
D;MD;M
D;M
appears. If the
caller’s name has more than 16 characters,
only the first 16 characters appear. The NEW
CALL indicator flashes until all calls are re-
viewed.
If the Caller ID information received dupli-
cates another call in memory, the system up-
dates the time/date and
HFJ
HFJHFJ
HFJ
and the number
of times the call was repeated appears. If no
button is pressed within 30 seconds, the sys-
tem returns to answer-ready mode, and dis-
plays the total call counter, new call counter,
current time and date.
Note:
If there is no voice message attached
to a repeat number, the latest call appears
once during CID review. For example, if you
receive a call from the same number 10
times, the CID displays the number once and
HFJý'&
HFJý'&HFJý'&
HFJý'&
appears.
REVIEWING CALLER ID
RECORDS
Each time you receive a call, the system
stores a Caller ID record that you can review
later, even during a call. A Caller ID record
includes:
call number
time and date of the call
callers’ telephone number (if available)
caller’s name (if available)
voice message (if the calling party
leaves a message)
To review the call records:
In the answer-ready mode, press
REVIEW6
to review most recent calls. Press
REVIEW7
to view the oldest calls. After you view the
most recent calls or oldest calls in memory,
#

#
;dZýe\ýB_ijý#ý
;dZýe\ýB_ijý#ý;dZýe\ýB_ijý#ý
;dZýe\ýB_ijý#ý
appears. If there is a voice mes-
sage attached to the call record, the system
automatically announces the message.
Notes:
The NEW CALL indicator flashes until all
the new Caller ID records are reviewed.
If no button is pressed within 15 sec-
onds, the system returns to answer-
ready mode.
If the data in memory is reviewed for the
first time,
D;M
D;MD;M
D;M
appears during your
review.
USING THE MASTER/
SECONDARY SWITCH
The system’s M/S (master/secondary) switch
lets you easily connect up to four system
modules to the same phone line, so you can
receive Caller ID and Call Waiting informa-
tion at more than one phone on that line.
Simply set
M/S
on the back of one system to
M
, and set
M/S
to
S
on all (up to three) other
systems. Set one system to answer on; set
the others to answer off.
Notes:
If you connect only one system to a
phone line, set its
M/S
switch to
M
. If
M/S
on more than one or none of the sys-
tems is set to
M
, incoming calls might be
disconnected.
You can also connect other caller ID
modules that do not have the Call Wait-
ing function to the same phone line as
your system as long as the total number
of Caller ID modules connected to the
line does not exceed four.
If you connect another type of CID mod-
ule that has Call Waiting (other than this
system) to the same phone line as your
system, the Call Waiting signal might be
garbled or not received.

digit number [area code plus 7-digit
number])
1 + area code + local phone number
(1 + 10-digit number [if your local
phone system requires you to dial 1
before a long- distance number]).
