Important Caller ID Information

To use Caller ID and Call Waiting, you must be in an area where those services are available and you must subscribe to those services through your local phone company.

Where Caller ID is offered, one or more options are generally available:

caller’s number only

caller’s name only

caller’s name and number

If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller ID, the system can show you the incoming caller information, even when you are already talking on the phone.

Read This Before Installation

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations when you can connect it to most phone lines. However, each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power draw as the phone’s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your phone.
