Caller ID - call waiting ID
Your phone is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling before you
answer the phone (caller ID). It is also capable of displaying caller ID information in conjunction
with a call waiting alert signal (call waiting caller ID). With call waiting caller ID, the caller ID
data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with
your current conversation.
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service providers.
You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features. If you do not
subscribe to caller ID services, you can still use your phone and the other features it
offers. Due to regional incompatibilities, caller ID information may not be available for every
call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and/or
phone number from being sent.
Base Menu Soft Functions
Reviewing caller ID from the base
As new caller ID/call waiting ID records are received,
your base display will alert you to the new caller ID
records, for example:
The number of new calls displayed on each system handset and base may not be the same.
If, for example, you answer a call on a handset, the handset will not count the caller ID
information for that call as new. However, the base displays will consider it a new call, and add
it to the NEW CALLS total.
After you review a new caller ID record, the NEW CALLS status will be turned off.
From the idle (off) mode, press MENU, highlight the
CALL LOG option, then press SELECT. The caller
ID information of the most recently received call will
be displayed. For example:
