Calling Line Identiﬁcation information is sent from the telephone company to your 9516CW telephone between the ﬁrst and second ring (if you subscribe to the Calling Line Identiﬁcation service through your local telephone company).

Note : Contact your local telephone company to subscribe to CLID services.

If you don’t retrieve the call within 15 minutes, the call is automatically dropped.

Note : The 9516CW automatically releases the held call when a person on an extension telephone picks up the call. If you don’t hang up the handset after you have put a call on hold and that call is picked up by someone at another extension, the call is taken off hold but remains connected to your telephone. If this happens, any back- ground noise from your area will be heard by the caller and the person at the other extension.
