Call Waiting Caller ID
Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone company; if you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. Only the handset that is in use at the time of the call will display and store the Call Waiting Caller ID information.
•When you hear the call waiting beep, press the menu/flash button on the base or the flash/call waiting/answerer button on the handset to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. Press the menu/flash or flash/call waiting/ answerer again to return to the original call.
Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, Caller ID information is transmitted by the phone company to your telephone between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on your phone’s display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
