Features: • Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible • Tone Dialing • Intercom • Call Transfer This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this instruction book. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to: • View the name and telephone number of a caller while you are on the phone (Call Waiting Caller ID). • Identify callers before you answer the phone. • View the time and date of each incoming call. • Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially in each handset. • Know who called while you are on the line or when you were away. • Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get prepared before answering a call. IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Caller ID with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone.
