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.
