Glossary
CID: This stands for Caller Identification, which is a subscriber service,
available from most local telephone companies for a fee. When you
subscribe to Caller Identification, you can see who's calling before you
answer the phone if you and the caller are both in areas offering Caller ID
service with compatible equipment.
Caller ID with Call Waiting: This is a single combined subscriber
service which may be available from your local telephone company. If
you subscribe to this service you can use your 955 telephone system to
see who's calling even while you are on another call (as long as your
caller is in an area with Caller ID service and both telephone companies
use compatible equipment).
Centrex Service: A special subscriber service which may be available
from your local telephone company for a fee. The 955 telephone system
can be used with Centrex Service.
COVM: Central Office Voice Mail is a subscriber voice message service
which may be available from your local telephone company. This service
may be called by another name in your area (e.g., Call Answering).
DND: When activated the Do Not Disturb feature prevents interruptions
during a call.
Home Area Code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Most
users simply dial the seven digits of a phone number to make a call within
their own area code and 11 digits outside of their area code. If this applies
to you, you should enter your own area code into the unit as the Home
Area Code. After programming, if you receive a call from within your Home
Area Code, the screen will display the seven digits of the phone number.
When you use Display Dial, the unit will know to ignore the Home Area
Code, and dial only the seven digits of the phone number.
