About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service
providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller's
number, or the caller's name and number that are sent by the telephone
service provider after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the
name, number, date and time of calls.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to
combine these services).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be
available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use
compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service
provider along with the call information.
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this
product's other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined
caller ID with call waiting service.
