CALLER ID OPERATION

Message Waiting and NEW CALL Lights

There is a NEW CALL light for each line. The NEW CALL light will stay on steadily when you have new calls in the call log. The light will turn off after you have reviewed all new calls. If you subscribe to a telephone company voice mail service, this light flashes if you have unretrieved messages waiting.

At times, the system will occasionally receive a false signal and the NEW CALL light will flash. To turn off the light:

1Press O, then select VOICE MSG.

2Use the softkeys to select the line whose light is incorrect.

3Select OK to move to the screen with the LIGHT OFF softkey. Select LIGHT OFF.

4Press O when done.

Voice mail signals are sent in two different ways; this set automatically selects the method which is used by your voice mail service. (Your service provider can provide you with more information about your service.) If you move or change service providers, you may need to use the RESET softkeys shown on the above menus to avoid missing messages.

Call Screening

You can see who’s calling before you answer the phone. The screen displays the name and number of your caller, if the information is available. If both lines have calls, the top two lines of the screen display information about Line 1, and the bottom two lines on the screen display information about Line 2.
