Calls Log (Caller ID - Call Waiting)

Caller ID - Call Waiting ID

Your mi 6821 is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling before you answer the phone (Caller ID or CID). It is also capable of displaying CID information in conjunction with a call waiting alert signal (Call Waiting Caller ID). With call waiting CID, the CID data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your current conversation. Your mi 6821 can hold up to 50 CID entries.

NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID

These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service pro- viders. 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 mi 6821 and the other features it offers.

Due to regional incompatibilities, CID 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.

When one handset is accessing the call log, the other handsets can not access it at the same time. If this is attempted, NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME will display.

As new CID/call waiting ID records are re- ceived, your handset display will alert you to

the new caller ID records, for example:

After you review all new CID records, the NEW call indication will be turned off and the screen will show:

If the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for the new call. If the call log is empty when you try to enter to call log review, a message of the following message is dis- played:

Reviewing Caller ID

You can review the CID record via the menu, as described below or by pressing the CID key (quick access key) while in idle mode and the handset jumps directly to CID review.

In idle mode, press MENU.

Press the key to scroll to CALL LOG.
