About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service 
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. 
The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of 
the caller before answering the telephone, and while on another call.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,  
this service might be called different names (such  
as caller ID with visual call waiting) by different  
telephone service providers and might not be  
available in all areas.
It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. 
Contact your telephone service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you 
might need to combine these services).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are 
in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use 
compatible equipment. The time and date are from the telephone service 
provider along with the call information.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers 
may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
NOTES: 
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other 
features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you 
set (see Set home and local area codes on page 17).
