CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa-
ny sends information about the call, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you
receive.
The ET-1118 displays this information
when it receives a call, and it stores up
to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It
also shows if caller information is un-
available or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller
ID Messages” on Page 23).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with
Caller ID, you will hear a tone through
the handset when a call comes in, then
the Caller ID record appears. If you want
to answer the incoming call, press
FLASH
. To resume the previous phone
conversation, press

again.
If the phone’s Caller ID memory be-
comes full, any new call replaces the
oldest call’s record.
