Caller ID service (continued)

Setting the Caller ID options

There are three Caller ID setup options available. They are AutoTalk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code (page 11).

Auto Talk allows you to answer the phone without pressing . If the phone rings when AutoTalk is on, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. Or, if the handset is not on the base, press any key

(except ) to answer the call. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is off, you

must press to answer the call.

Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a call waiting number. Call Waiting options allow you to handle call waiting calls in seven different ways.

You must subscribe to CIDCW and CIDCW options from your phone company in order to use this feature.
