Dial mode
If you have touch-tone service, your telephone is ready to use as soon as the battery is charged. If

About caller ID information
The caller ID with call waiting features in this telephone let you see who is calling before answering
the call, even when 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, or
• you do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them now.
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 these services 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.
