This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to: • View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID) while you are on the phone. • 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: 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. IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the 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. 7
