Caller ID (CID)
IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit’s Caller ID features, you must
subscribe to either the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service or
Call Waiting Caller ID Service. To know who is calling while you are on
the phone, you must subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID Service.
This unit receives and displays CID information transmitted by your local telephone
company. This information can include the phone number, date and time; or the name,
phone number, and date and time.
Call Waiting Caller ID
Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone company; if you
receive an incoming call and you are using the GE multi handset system, a beep indicates
the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. The Call Waiting Caller ID information will be
displayed and stored in the history of all handsets in the system.
• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the TALK/LINE1/
flash1 or TALK/LINE/flash button to put the current call on hold and answer the
incoming call. Press the TALK/LINE1/flash1 or TALK/LINE/flash again to return to the
original call.
Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, Caller ID information is transmitted by the phone company to
your telephone between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears
on your phone’s display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the
information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
