Chain-Dialing Service Numbers

Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s number

evening or early morning hours to avoid peak
demand periods. Also, remain on the line to
explain the reason for your call.

Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive.
The answering system displays this informa-
tion after the second ring, and it stores up to
50 Caller ID records for later review. It also
shows if caller information is unavailable or if
the name and number were blocked by the
caller (see “Caller ID Messages” on
Page 21).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller
ID, you will hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears. If you want to answer the in-
coming call, press
FLASH . To resume the
previous phone conversation, press FLASH
again.
If the answering system’s Caller ID memory
becomes full, any new call replaces the old-
est call record.
REVIEWING CALLER ID
RECORDS
When the handset is face-up on the base, it
shows the number of new Caller ID records,
if any, and the total number of records.
To review the contents of each Caller ID
record, lift the handset and press
CALL ID to
recall the number of records. Then, repeat-
edly press
VOL/CID
9 9 9 9
to scroll through the
Caller ID records from the newest to the old-
est, or
VOL/CID
9 9 9 9
to scroll back through the
records. To scroll quickly through the
records, hold down
VOL/CID

or

.
When you scroll past the last record, the total
number of records appears, then the first
record. When you scroll past the first record,
the total number of records appears, then the
last record.
