Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

For quick recall of numbers for special
services (such as bank by phone), store
each group of numbers in its own mem-
ory location. Dial the service's main
number first. Then, at the appropriate
place in the call, press

MEM

(or

MEMO-

RY

on the base) and enter the number

for the location where the additional in-
formation is stored.

Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers

If you store an emergency service's
number (police department, fire depart-
ment, 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 ex-
plain the reason for your call.

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. This information appears after
the second ring on both the handset's
and the base's displays. The display
also shows if caller information is un-
available or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller
ID Messages” on Page 21).

If you subscribe to Call Waiting with
Caller ID, you will hear a tone through
the handset when a call comes in, then
the Caller ID record appears. If you want
to answer the incoming call, press

FLASH

. To resume the previous phone

conversation, press

FLASH

again.

The handset has Caller ID memory to
store the information received up to 50
Caller ID records for later review. It
stores the information even when you
answer the call using the speakerphone.

If the Caller ID memory becomes full,
any new call replaces the oldest call's
record.

The base's NEW CALL indicator also
flashes when the phone receives a call
with Caller ID information and you have
not yet reviewed it. Use the handset's
Caller ID memory to review the informa-
tion about the call(s) received.
