About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a caller ID with call waiting feature which works with service available from your local telephone service provider.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name of the caller before answering the telephone, even when you are on another call.
You may need to change your telephone service plan to enjoy this feature. Con- tact your telephone service provider if:
•You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service)
•You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service, but not both.
•You currently do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting service. This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or with no caller ID service. Caller ID services are subscription services and may not be available in all areas. Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number.This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.
