About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer
the phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact
your phone service provider if:
•
You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
•
•
You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this
product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined
Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are
in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.
About Call History
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 65. The most
recent call will have the highest number. When the memory is full, the oldest
call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before call information appears on the screen, it will not
be stored in the call history.
About Home Area Code and Local Area Codes
Always program your Home Area Code, and if you need them, up to four
Local Area Codes (see “Set Home Area Code” and “Set Local Area Codes”
on pages 11 and 12). Programming these area codes will change how
numbers are displayed in the call history, and will allow for correct operation
of the Display Dial feature.
