Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting

This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with services from your local telephone service provider.

Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see the name of the caller before you answer the telephone, even when you’re on another call.

You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone 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, or 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, but these may not be available in all areas.

Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number. 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. The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.

Before you begin

About caller identification (CID)

The Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call. These fea-

tures require services provided by your local telephone company.

Contact your telephone 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, or

you do not subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services but wish to try them now.

You can use this telephone with regular Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call

Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these services may not be available in all areas.

The Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press /PHONE/FLASH. Move closer to the telephone base, then press /PHONE/FLASH to answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing /OFF/CANCEL, the telephone will be disconnected after five seconds.

Getting Started
