INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES

Congratulations on your purchase of the GTE 5050T Trimline Telephone with Call Waiting Caller ID and Voicemail Indicator. Please read this instruction manual completely for installation and trouble-free operation of your telephone.

IMPORTANT: To receive information about incoming telephone calls, you must subscribe to the Caller ID Call Waiting service provided by your local telephone company; there is a fee for this service, and it may not be available in all areas. The same applies to Voicemail services.

Note: The “hookswitch” used to hang up the phone, is located on the back of the handset and is automatically activated when the phone is put on the base. To hang up you must either return the handset to the base or locate and press the “hookswitch” on the back of the handset.
