About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the
phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature.
Contact your phone service provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use
this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or
combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all
areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.
About the Calls Log
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 50 at the
handset. The most recent call will have the lowest number. When the
memory is full, the oldest call information is deleted to make room for new
incoming call information. See CALLER ID OPERATION, beginning on page
41, for more details.
If you answer a call before call information appears on the screen, it will not
appear in the calls log.

Handset sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the

About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone
phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by
pressing 11, 22, or 33. All other messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
• You can record up to two different announcements — one for normal
answering and one for when you’ve set the system to play the
announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’
messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information
to callers without accepting messages.
• If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with
a pre-recorded announcement.
• The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. Please
leave a message after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded
announcement says: “We’re sorry, messages to this number cannot be
accepted.”
• By setting Announce Only to on or off, you decide which announcement
your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes
set for normal answering, with Announce Only turned off). See “Change
announce only” on page 49 to change your announcement selection.
