Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting
Copyright © 2006 Advanced American Telephones. All Rights Reserved.
AT&T and the Globe Design are trademarks of AT&T Corp.,
licensed to Advanced American Telephones.
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local telephone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who is 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 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, 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.

Before you begin
The cordless telephone handset
operates with the maximum
power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC). This handset and the telephone base unit can communicate
over only a certain distance —
which can vary with the locations
of the base unit and the handset,
the weather, and the construction
of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you
are out of range, the handset
might not ring — or if it does
ring, the call might not connect
well when PHONE is pressed.
Move closer to the base, then
press PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a telephone conversation,
you might hear noise or interference from the cordless handset.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base unit.
If you move out of range
without pressing OFF, your
telephone will be left "off the
hook" and the line will be busy.
To hang up properly, walk back
toward the telephone base unit
while periodically pressing OFF
until the call is disconnected.
