CALL WAITING DISPLAY

In the past, if you had call-waiting service, a tone alerted you there was a new call coming while you were on an existing call. Now our Call Waiting Caller ID not only tells you there is another call waiting, but lets you know who the caller is before you answer it. The call waiting information is shown on the unit’s display. The CALL WAITING (CW) symbol will flash for 16 seconds along with the telephone number and name of the person who is on call waiting. Press the FLASH button to put the existing call on hold and answer the new call.

No matter whether you answer the call or not, the Call Waiting Caller ID will store the call information for future reference.

Note: Make sure you have subscribed to both Call Waiting Caller ID and Caller ID service from your local telephone company. If you only have Caller ID service, the unit works for Caller ID only.

MUTEBUTTON

Press MUTE to speak without the person on the phone hearing your conversation. The MUTE Indicator will light up and remain lighted until you resume your conversation. To resume your conversation, press MUTE. The MUTE indicator will go out and your call can continue.

RINGER VOLUME
Use the Ringer Volume controls located on the right side of the phone base to
change ringer volume for Line 1 and Line 2. The 3-position switches are used to set
ringer volume to Off, Low or Hi. Remember to set the Ringer switches to Hi or Low when
you want to receive calls.	12
