4 Incoming Call
Regular CallerID: When telephone line is idle
When someone calls, their Caller ID information is sent by the phone
company to your unit normally between the first and second ring. The
received information is immediately displayed so you can decide how to
handle the call.
Note:
It is important that you do not answer the call before the second ring, or
you will interfere with the data transmission. When this happens, no
information will be displayed.
Call Waiting Caller ID: When the telephone line is in use by a
phone connected to this unit
If you subscribe to the Caller ID with Call Waiting service, when a caller
beeps in on your existing connection, their Caller ID information will be
displayed after a short interruption to your present conversation. The
interruption is necessary for the data to be received from the phone
Company and typically lasts about 1-2 seconds. During this period your
telephone is momentarily muted by this unit. The phone company also
mutes the distant party at the same time.
Note:
If an extension phone is also off hook and not connected to a Call
Waiting Caller ID device, it can't be muted so data transmission may be
corrupted. No information will be displayed.
When Caller ID with Call Waiting is received, the Call Waiting Icon
blinks as the Caller ID information is displayed. To answer the waiting
caller (and automatically place the existing party on hold) you must
press FLASH. To switch callers, press FLASH. The Call Tracker™
feature updates the display as you switch between parties, helping you
keep track of who you are connected.
Note:
Call Tracker™ tracks when:
1) you first receive a call and then receive a Call Waiting call or
2) you dial a party from the Call Log and receive a Call Waiting call.

Message Waiting Indicator
I've cleared my messages in the voice mail, but the light didn't go
out. Be sure to give your phone company or Voice Mail service provider
time (10 minutes) to either send the message light control code to your
unit or change stutter dial tone to dial tone, depending on the service
