each group of numbers in its own memory location. Dial the service’s main number first. Then, at the appropriate place in the call, press MEM and enter the number for the location where the additional information is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency Numbers

If you store an emergency service’s number (police department, fire department, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored number, make the test call during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on the line to explain the reason for your call.

ˆCaller ID Operation

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the phone company sends information about the call, as well as the time and date, between the first and second rings of every call you receive.

The phone displays this information after the second ring, and it stores up to 30 Caller ID records for later review. It also shows if caller information is unavailable or if the name and number were blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messages” on Page 16).

If the phone’s Caller ID memory becomes full, any new call replaces the oldest call record.

If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller ID, you will hear a tone through the handset when a call comes in, then the Caller ID record appears. If you want to answer the incoming call, press FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

Note: If the handset is faceup on the base, it shows the number of Caller ID records, so you can see if you have new records to review.

Repeatedly press 9 to scroll through the Caller ID records from the most recent to the oldest, or 8 to scroll back through the records. To scroll quickly through the records, hold down 8 or 9.

When you scroll past the last record, the total record number appears, then the first record. When you scroll past the first record, the total record number appears, then the last record.

The top line of each record shows the date, time and the number of calls from that number. The second line shows the caller’s name, and the third line shows the caller’s phone number.

To exit the Caller ID record display, press

CALL ID.

REVIEWING CALLER ID RECORDS

To review the Caller ID records, lift the handset and press CALL ID. The number of new Caller ID records, if any, and the total number of records appear.
