Caller ID (CID)

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.

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 the base and all handsets in

the system.

• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the flash

button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call.

Press flash again to return to the original call.

NOTE: The unit cannot receive Call Waiting/Caller ID information

while an external call is hold.

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.

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone's Caller ID memory stores

the data for the 0 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while

you were unavailable. When the 1st 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.
