Important information about subscription services
In order to use Caller ID, Call Waiting, or Call Waiting Caller ID (CWID), you must
first contact your telephone company and subscribe to the desired service.
LFor more information, contact your telephone company.
If the Call Waiting Caller ID (CWID) feature does not function:
LYou may need to contact your telephone company to activate this specific service, even
if you already subscribed to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services
(CWID).
If you subscribe to a flat-rate bundle service that includes Caller ID, Call Waiting,
Voice Mail, and unlimited local/regional/long distance calls, please read the
following:
LTo use the Voice Mail service provided by the telephone company rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the answering system by pressing {ANSWER ON}on the
base unit.
This unit does not have an indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your
mailbox service.
LTo use this unit’s answering system rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your
telephone company, please contact your telephone company to deactivate your Voice
Mail service.
If the telephone company cannot do this, set this unit’s “Ring count” setting so that
this unit’s answering system answers calls before the telephone company’s voice mail
service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the ring count required to
activate the Voice Mail service provided by your telephone company before changing
this setting.
Example: To set the ring count to “2”, press {MENU}{0}{6}{1}. When “Ring count”
is displayed, press {2}{Save}.
