CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa-
ny sends information about the call, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you
receive. The System 1250 displays this
information and updates the phone’s
built-in clock. (You cannot manually set
the date and time.)
The System 1250 can also show other
information about the call. See “Caller ID
Messages” on Page 18.
The NEW CALL indicator flashes during
an incoming call, and
NEW appears on
the display. The Caller ID record ap-
pears for about 15 seconds, then the
Caller ID and new Caller ID record totals
appear.
If you subscribe to your phone compa-
ny’s message waiting service, the Sys-
tem 1250’s display briefly shows
MESSAGE WAITING when you receive
a message, then remains on the dis-
play until you retrieve the message.
Note: The message waiting feature only
works with phone systems that use FSK
(frequency-shift keying) services.
If you receive more than one call from
the same phone number,
REP and the
number of calls flash alternately on the
display. The number appearing by
REP
is the number of additional calls from
that phone number.
If you subscribe to Call Waiting and a
call comes in while you are on the
phone, the incoming call symbol flashes.
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with
Caller ID, the System 1250 also displays
the Caller ID information for the incom-
ing call.
To answer the incoming call, press
FLASH. To resume the previous phone
conversation, press FLASH again.
