NTRODUCTION
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for
future reference.
This telephone/answering system is designed to be simple to use,
however, you can reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few
minutes to read this user's guide.
This telephone /answering system is a multifunction product for use with
Call Waiting Caller ID services available from your local telephone
company.
Your Call Waiting Caller ID phone allows you to:
• View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
• View the time and date of each incoming call.
• Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were
away.
• Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to
get prepared before answering a call.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the Caller ID features of this telephone,
you must subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone
company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is
calling when the phone rings and Call Waiting Caller ID Service to know who
is calling while you are on the phone.
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one
phone in your home that isn't cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
