Caller ID - call waiting ID

Your phone is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling before you answer the phone (caller ID). It is also capable of displaying caller ID information in conjunction with a call waiting alert signal (call waiting caller ID). With call waiting caller ID, the caller ID data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your current conversation.

NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID

These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features. If you do not subscribe to caller ID services, you can still use your phone and the other features it offers. Due to regional incompatibilities, caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and/or phone number from being sent.

After you review a new caller ID record, the NEW CALLS status will be turned off. From the idle (off) mode, press MENU, highlight the

CALL LOG option, then press SELECT. The caller ID information of the most recently received call will be displayed. For example:
