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 LINE 1 or LINE
2 button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. Press the LINE 1
or LINE 2 button 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 rst 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.
