Testing Stored Emergency Num-

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 answering system displays this informa-
tion after the second ring, and it stores up to
50 Caller ID records for later review. It also
shows if caller information is unavailable or if
the name and number were blocked by the
caller (see “Caller ID Messages).
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.
If the answering system’s Caller ID memory
becomes full, any new call replaces the old-
est call record.
