ˆCaller ID Operation

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 Telephone Answering Device (TAD) dis- plays this information after the second ring, and it stores up to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It also shows if caller informa- tion is unavailable or if the name and number were blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messages” on Page 21).

If the TAD’s Caller ID memory becomes full, any new call replaces the oldest call record.

If you subscribe to Call Waiting and 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 in- coming call, press FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

CALL WAITING OPTIONS SERVICE

With this TAD, you can use Call Waiting Op- tions Service from your phone company. This service provides you with more choices on how to handle a second call when you are already on the phone. You can switch be- tween the callers, have a 3-way conference call with both callers, or answer the second caller with a prerecorded message asking them to hold the line.

Before you can use the Call Waiting Options Services, you must:

•subscribe to the Options service from your telephone company.

•set the Caller ID/Call Waiting feature to Opt (see “Turning Caller ID/Call Waiting On/Off” on Page 13).
