is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling
before you answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of displaying
Caller ID information in conjunction with a Call Waiting alert signal (Call
Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the Caller ID data is displayed so
you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your
current conversation.
After you review all new Caller ID records, the NEW CALLS status will be
turned off.
As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID records are
received, your Base displays will alert you to the
new Caller ID records, for example:
From the idle (OFF) mode, press MENU, CALLS
LOG is highlighted, press OK.
The Caller ID
information of the most recently received
call will be displayed. For example:
The number of new calls displayed on each
system Handset and Base may not be the
same. If, for example, you answer a call on Handset 2, that Handset will not count
the Caller ID information for that call as new. However, the other registered
Handset and Base displays will consider it a new call, and add it to the NEW
CALLS total.
