Connecting to an Answering Machine
1.Disconnect the phone line cord from the answering machine's jack. Then plug it into the CID's LINE jack.
2.Plug one end of the supplied line cord into the CID's PHONE jack.
3.Plug the cord's other end into the answering machine's jack.
4.Set your answering machine to answer after two or more rings (see “Receiving and Storing Calls” on Page 17).
Two or more rings gives the CID time to record the call information that the phone company sends between the first and second rings.
Note: If you subscribe to Call Waiting service with your telephone company and you receive a new Call Waiting call while your answering machine is recording another call at the same time, the Call Waiting information sent by the phone company will disconnect the recording.
