CALLER ID OPERATION
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone compa-
ny sends information about the caller, as
well as the time and date, between the
first and second rings of every call you
receive.
The TAD-794 displays this information
when a call is received, and it stores up
to 30 Caller ID records for later review.
The display also shows if caller informa-
tion is unavailable or if the name or num-
ber is blocked by the caller (see "Caller
ID Messages" on Page 26).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Call-
er ID, you hear a tone through the hand-
set when a call comes in, then the Caller
ID record appears. If you want to answer
the incoming call, press
FLASH
. To
resume the previous phone conversa-
tion, press
FLASH
again.
If the TAD's Caller ID memory becomes
full, it replaces the oldest Caller ID
record with each new call.
