Caller ID
IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit's Caller ID features, you must subscribe to either the standard
Name/Number Caller ID Service or Call Waiting Caller ID Service. To know who is calling while you are on
the phone, you must subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID Service.
This unit receives and displays information transmitted by your local phone company. This information can include the
phone number, date, and time; or the name, phone number, date, and time.
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 using the GE multi handset system, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. The Call Waiting
Caller ID information will be displayed and stored in the history of all handsets in the system.
• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the talk/flash button to put the current call on hold and
answer the incoming call. Press talk/flash again to return to the original call.
Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and second ring. The Caller ID
information appears on the display while 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. To scroll CID
records:
