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 using the GE multi handset system, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. The Call Waiting Caller ID information will be displayed and stored in the history of all handsets in the system.

When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the TALK or SPEAKER button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. Press TALK or SPEAKER again to return to the original call.

Receiving CID Records

When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.

You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review show as in the display.

Reviewing CID Records

As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:

1.Make sure the phone is OFF (not in TALK mode).

2.Press the CALLER ID-VOLUME( 6 ) button to review the newest CID record.

3.Press the CALLER ID-VOLUME( 5 ) button to review the oldest CID record first.
