About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a caller ID with call waiting feature which works with service available
from your local telephone service provider.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name of the caller before answering the
telephone, even when you are on another call.
You may need to change your telephone service plan to enjoy this feature. Contact your
telephone 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, but not both.
• You currently do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting service.
This product can be used with regular caller ID service, or with no caller ID service.
Caller ID services are subscription services and may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and
number. 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.
The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.
About Home Area Code and Local Area Codes
Always program your home area code, and if necessary, up to four local area codes can
be programmed (see Set Home Area Code and Set Local Area Codes on pages
19-20). Programming these area codes changes how numbers are displayed in the call
log and allows for correct operation of the display dial feature.
The chart below shows whether it is necessary to program the local area codes after
installing your telephone.
