Caller ID

Caller ID is a subscription service available from your telephone service provider. For the Caller ID feature to work on the unit, you must subscribe to the service.

To receive Caller ID information for a Call Waiting call, you must subscribe to “Combined Call Waiting Caller ID service” from your telephone service provider. Even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting services separately, it is possible that you have not subscribed to the combined service.

When the Telephone Rings

If you subscribed to Call Waiting Caller ID (combined service), you will receive Caller ID information (if available) from Call Waiting calls. During a phone call, you will hear a beep to indicate the presence of a Call Waiting call. Shortly after, the Caller ID information will appear on the handset display. You can continue speaking to the first caller or by pressing flash, you can toggle to speak to the second caller.

Caller ID Display

If you have subscribed to Caller ID service from your telephone company, each handset will show on the display, the telephone number and the name of the incoming call (if available), as well as the date and time the call is received. The information will show on the display after the second ring, and is then stored in the Caller ID database of the base unit.
