NTRODUCTION
Your GE 2-9992 Messaging System with Caller ID and Call Waiting is designed to give you
flexibility in use and high quality performance. You can use this unit with basic telephone
service, but to fully take advantage of its features you must subscribe to the services below:

CALLER ID

This feature allows you to see the number or name and number of the person calling before
you answer the phone.

CALL WAITING

This feature allows you to answer incoming calls while you are talking on the phone.
CALLER ID WITH CALL WAITING
Also known as Type II Caller ID, this feature allows you to see the number or name and
number of a call that beeps in while you are talking on the phone with someone else.
VERY IMPORTANT: The Caller ID with Call Waiting feature of this product is totally dependent
upon your phone company's capabilities. You may subscribe to one service or the other, or even to
both, and this product will function properly.
But to take advantage of the Caller ID with Call Waiting feature, you must call your local phone
company and tell the representative that you have a Caller ID/Call Waiting device that integrates the
two services, regardless of whether or not you already subscribe to one or both services indepen-
dently.
The phone companies that do have the ability to integrate Call Waiting and Caller ID must program your
telephone line for the feature to work.
