OPERATION
RECEIVING CALLS
This unit has a built-in real time clock that accurately keeps the
current time and date. The clock is automatically set and updated
each time Caller ID information is received.
IMPORTANT: Allow at least two rings to occur prior to answering calls. This
will assure that the unit will receive the Caller ID information correctly.
• When the telephone is not in use and a new call is received, the
display displays the phone number, the caller’s name, and time
and date of the call for 20 seconds. The NEW (new call) symbol
comes on.
• After 20 seconds without activity, the display changes to the
summary screen which remains until another call is received or
any button is pressed. The unit only displays the number of new
calls received.
FLASH
Press the flash button instead of using the hook switch to activate
customer calling services such as call waiting or call transfer, which
are provided by your local telephone company.
CALL WAITING DISPLAY
To utilize the full capabilities of this unit, you must subscribe to Caller
ID with name and number service and Call Waiting with Caller ID
service. This unit lets you know when a call is waiting, as well as who is
calling, before you answer.
This unit cannot provide Caller ID and Call Waiting features unless
you are subscribed to receive the services from your local
telephone company. Check with your local telephone company to
confirm both of these services are available. If you only have Caller
ID service, this unit will not receive and display Call Waiting with
Caller ID information. If you have Call Waiting Caller ID service, a
tone alerts you there is a new call coming while you are on an
existing call. You will experience a short period of silence as the
Caller ID information is processed by the unit.
• When a call waiting signal is received, CALL WAITING flashes in
the display. Then the name and telephone number of the person
calling appears in the display for 20 seconds.
• Press flash to put the existing call on hold and answer the
new call.
• When you finish with the new call, press flash to return to the
original call.
• If you choose not to answer the new call, the Call Waiting ID
information is stored for future reference.
TIP: If you choose not to use any of the Call Waiting options, you may
simply ignore the call waiting beeps and continue your conversation. The
person calling will hear a continuous ring, as if you are not home, or may
be transferred to a voice mail account if available.
IMPORTANT: To use the Call Waiting feature of this unit, the phone you are
using must be connected directly to the unit.
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS
