Caller ID System Operation

Caller ID with Call Waiting

When you subscribe to Call Waiting service from your local telephone company, this telephone will display the name and number of the second caller while you are having a phone conversation with the first caller.

When a new call comes in while you are talking, you will hear a notification beep from the Handset and the volume is momentarily muted. The new caller’s name and phone number, if available, appears on the display.

1.When you receive a “Call Waiting” call and you want to connect the call, press the Flash/Edit button and start talking with the second caller. The active call will be placed on hold.

2.Press the Flash/Edit button to alternate between calls.

3.Press the Talk button or place the Handset on the Base Unit to end the call.

“MSG WAITING” (Message Waiting)

The Message Waiting LED indicator will blink when there is a message for you from your telephone company if you have subscribed to Voice Mail message service and if you have requested Visual Message Indication from your local telephone company. “MSG WAITING” will appear on the LCD Screen in standby mode. (To remove the MSG WAITING indicator, see page 25.)

NOTE: This function requires voice mail subscription from the local telephone company. Furthermore, the local phone company must provide a type of voice mail signaling called “FSK” (Frequency Shift Key). Not all telephone companies have the visual message waiting feature available. Please contact your local telephone company to check if this is available in your area.

One-Touch Voice Mail Dialing

When the setting is programmed in the Functions menu (see “Programming One-Touch Voice Mail Dialing” on page 25) you can dial out a programmed number at the touch of a button. This feature is specifically designed to easily check voice mail when you have that service through your local telephone company.

1.Press the Talk button to access the telephone line.

2.Press the Voice Mail/ Func button.

3.The phone will automatically dial the number.
