Caller ID with Call Waiting

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 handset that is in use at the time
of the call will display and store the Call Waiting Caller ID information.
• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the FLASH/EXIT
button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. Press FLASH/
EXIT again to return to the original call.
