Setting Caller ID Options
There are three Caller ID setup options available; they are AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code. See page 13 for Area Code setup instructions.
AutoTalkTM allows you to answer the phone without pressing the talk button. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is on, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. Or if the handset is not on the base, press any key to answer the call. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is off, you must press talk to answer the call.
Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call waiting number. Call waiting options allow you to handle call waiting calls in six different ways. (See page 37.)
You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.
