Caller ID and CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting)

You must subscribe to Caller ID services through your local telephone provider to use these features.

When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller’s name, phone number, date and time of call. With CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), you will hear a call waiting tone while you are on a call, and the Caller ID data is displayed. To accept the waiting call, press talk/flash on the handset or flash/find hs on the base (see page 34). Additionally, you can dial a number stored in the Caller ID list or save data to your phonebook.

Important:

Memory for Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.
