About Caller Identification

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
features 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

• You don’t subscribe to any Caller
ID or Call Waiting services.

You can use this phone 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
they may not be available in all areas.

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.

See Caller ID Operation, beginning on
page 14, for more details about how
these features work.
