Caller ID Operation

Caller ID Operation

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive.

The Telephone Answering Device (TAD) dis-
plays this information after the second ring,
and it stores up to 50 Caller ID records for
later review. It also shows if caller informa-
tion is unavailable or if the name and number
were blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID
Messages” on Page 21).

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

If you subscribe to Call Waiting and 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 in-
coming call, press

FLASH

. To resume the

previous phone conversation, press

FLASH

again.

CALL WAITING OPTIONS
SERVICE

With this TAD, you can use Call Waiting Op-
tions Service from your phone company.
This service provides you with more choices
on how to handle a second call when you are
already on the phone. You can switch be-
tween the callers, have a 3-way conference
call with both callers, or answer the second
caller with a prerecorded message asking
them to hold the line.

Before you can use the Call Waiting Options
Services, you must:

• subscribe to the Options service from

your telephone company.

• set the Caller ID/Call Waiting feature to

Opt (see “Turning Caller ID/Call Waiting
On/Off” on Page 13).

Note: An error tone sounds and the phone
exits the menu if you wait more than 20 sec-
onds between each keypress.
