About caller ID

The caller ID with call waiting feature in this telephone lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while you are on a call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.

Contact your telephone company 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.

•

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 they 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 operation

www.vtechphones.com

If you answer a call

• before the information appears on the screen, it will not be stored in the call log.

The time on the

• handset screen is automatically set and updated with incoming caller ID information if you subscribe to this service.

Due to regional

• service differences, the caller ID information may not be available for ever y incoming call. In addition, the callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

Telephone operation

Call log

Caller’s name

If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will be displayed after

the rst or second ring.

The call log can store up to 30 entries.

• When the call log is full, the earliest entry will be deleted to make room for new incoming

• call information.

CID EMPTY will be displayed if there is no record in the call log.

About cordless telephones

Privacy: T he same features that make a c ordless telephone c onvenient create some l imitatio ns. Telephone c alls are transmitted between th e telephon e base and th e
