Telephone Operation
Call Waiting Caller ID Deluxe
This phone system is Call Waiting Caller ID Deluxe compatible so you may receive Call Waiting Caller ID
information from your local telephone company's central office if you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID
service. There is a Call Waiting Type (2.0/2.5) selection switch on the back of this unit. When the telephone
company provides Call Waiting Type 2.5 service (not available in all areas), you may set the switch to Type 2.5
position to activate and use the 2.5 function buttons.
This is a telephone service that identifies a waiting caller without interrupting your current call. This feature
gives you the informed choice of whether or not to take the incoming call. The operation is the same as the
normal operation. Please see the example below:
When you are on the line and you receive another call on the same line, you will hear a short alert signal from
your telephone company. Your unit automatically displays the new incoming Caller ID information.
Answering Machine and Mailbox Operation
Your 21230 answering machine features out-going message (greeting) recording, in-coming message
recording, playback, skip, repeat, erase, and memo (base only). Total recording time is up to 30 minutes.
Greeting length for each telephone line may range from three seconds to two minutes. Incoming recorded
messages and memo messages are unlimited in length.
This unit has two individual voicemail boxes, one for each line. For your privacy, you may set passwords for
each mailbox. Mailboxes may be accessed remotely. Each incoming message may be stamped with day and
time. If you need assistance operating your answering machine, a voice menu is available.
NOTE: You may only access one mailbox at a time. If a mailbox is in use, and you try to access a mailbox, MAILBOX BUSY shows
in your display. You must wait until the other user is finished. If calls are received simultaneously, the machine records calls in
chronological order.
