Call Waiting Caller ID
Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone
company; if you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone,
a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. Only the

the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide
whether or not to answer the call.
Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone's Caller ID memory
stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who
called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest
Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your
last review show as NEW in the display. Calls that have not been previously
reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as
REPT in the display.
Reviewing CID Records
As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how
many calls have been received.
• Press the Caller ID/vol (-) to scroll through the call records from the most
recent to the oldest.
• Press the Caller ID/vol (+) to scroll through the call records from the oldest
to the newest.

2. Use the Caller ID/vol (- or +) button to display the desired record.

NOTE: Depending on (a) how the incoming caller's phone
number is formatted when it is received, and (b) whether
or not you previously pre-programmed your local area
code into the set up menu, you may need to adjust the
format of the incoming caller's stored phone number
