OPERATION
RECEIVING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company.
When you subscribe to this service, the telephone company
sends the caller’s telephone number (and name, if available)
and the call’s date and time between the first and second
rings. The system receives and displays this information for
each call and updates the display with the current date and
time. The display also shows if caller information is not avail-
able or if the number is blocked by the sender (see “Dis-
played Call Information” on Page 21).
CALL
flashes during a new incoming call, the LINE indicator
flashes, and the call record shows for 20 seconds, then the
number of new calls and
NEW CALL
appear. The LINE indi-
cator shows which line the call came in on and flashes until
you review a call (see “Reviewing Call Records” on
Page 19).
Note:
If you have a phone that has a hold feature, we do not
recommend using hold for very long. The Caller ID informa-
tion sent by the phone company might disconnect a caller
on hold if a new call comes in.
If you have voice-mail message waiting (if you subscribe to
the telephone company’s message waiting service),
NEW
CALL
and
MESSAGE
WAITING
appear on the display.
MESSAGE
WAITING
remains on the display until you re-
trieve the message.
