Beyond the Basics
Switching to the Handset Speakerphone
during a Call
To switch a normal call to the speakerphone, press on the
handset. To switch from a speakerphone call to a normal call,
press .
Testing Stored Emergency Numbers
If you store an emergency service's number (police department,
fire department, ambulance) and you choose to test the stored
number, make the test call during the late evening or early
morning hours to avoid peak demand periods. Also, remain on
the line to explain the reason for your call.
Using Caller ID, Call Waiting and Redial
Lists
If you subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company, your
phone will show you the caller’s phone number and name (if
available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to both Call
Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also shows you the name and
the number of any call that comes in while you are on the line.
NOTES
If you answer a call before the Caller ID message
is received (for example, before the second ring),
the Caller ID message may not appear.
When the call is received via a Telephone
Company that does not offer Caller ID service,
the caller’s phone number and name will not
appear. (This includes some international calls.)
When the Call is from a PBX (private branch
exchange), the caller’s phone number and name
may not appear. •
