24 Caller ID Operation
TESTING STORED EMERGENCY NUMBERS
If you store an emergency service’s number (police department,
fire department, ambulance) and you want to test the stored
number, make the test call during the late evening or early
morning to avoid peak demand periods. Remain on the line to
explain the reason for your call.
MESSAGE WAITING
If you subscribe to a message waiting service with your local
telephone company, the STATUS/MESSAGE indicator flashes
and
MESSAGE WAITING appears when you have a new mes-
sage waiting. The indicator continues flashing until you listen to
all of your messages, then
MSG WAITING OFF appears for
about 5 seconds.
Note: When you are using the phone and there is a message
waiting, the STATUS/MESSAGE indicator flashes to let you
know there is a message waiting.
MESSAGE WAITING does
not appear.

Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company,
the system automatically displays information about calls you
receive and stores the information in Caller ID memory. The
system can store up to 40 number records (the most recent is
40), then replaces the oldest call with each new one.
