About Caller Identification

This telephone has a Caller ID feature that works with call identi-
fication service provided by your local telephone company. There
is a fee for this service, and it may not be available in all areas.
This phone can provide information only if both you and the caller
are in areas offering caller identification service, and if both tele-
phone companies use compatible equipment. Additionally, if you
subscribe to Call Waiting, this phone lets you see who’s calling
while you’re on another call (your telephone company must pro-
vide the service needed for this feature to work). The time and
date are sent by the provider, along with the call information. Be
sure to ask your provider for Type 2 Caller ID service.
