46Caller ID�aller ID operationThis product supports caller ID services provided by most local telephone service companies. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number which are sent by the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID from the HOME line allows you to see the name, number, date and time of the incoming call. However, caller ID from the CELLULAR line only shows the number of the incoming call; date and time of the call will not be shown. Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even when on another call. For incoming HOME call, the time and date will also be sent by the telephone service provider along with the caller ID information. For incoming CELLULAR call, only the caller's number will be provided. These services are available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.Contact your local telephone company and cellular 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 don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.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.CHRISTINE SMITH888-722-7702NEW10:01 11/23 AMNOTE: 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.

52Answering systemAbout the answering systemAnswering system and voicemailYour telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Voicemail is offered by your telephone service provider (fees may apply). Your telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent features, and each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voicemail indicators see page 24. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone company, followed by a security code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press PLAY/STOP button on the telephone base.If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting. By doing this, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
53Answering systemAbout the answering systemThe answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
