Caller ID
Caller ID - call waiting ID
Your phone is capable of displaying the number of the calling party before you answer the phone
(Caller ID or CID). If the number is already in the directory, the name of the caller will also be displayed.
It is also capable of displaying CID information in conjunction with a call waiting alert signal (call
waiting caller ID). With call waiting caller ID, the CID data is displayed so you can decide whether
to answer the incoming call, or continue with your current conversation. Your phone can hold up to
50 CID entries.
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID These are subscription services,
provided by most regional telephone service providers. You must subscribe to these services to
get the benets of these features. If you do not subscribe to CID services, you can still use your
phone and the other features it offers.
Due to regional incompatibilities, CID information may not be available for every incoming call. In
addition, the calling parties may intentionally block their name and/or phone number from being
sent.
• As new CID/call waiting ID records are received, your handset
displays will alert you to the new CID records, for example:
• After you review all new CID records, the
NEW call indicator will be
turned off and the screen will show:
