Chain-Dialing Service Numbers
For quick recall of numbers for special ser-

Dial the service’s main number first. Then, at
the appropriate place in the call, press
MEM
and enter the number for the location where
the additional information is stored.
Testing Stored Emergency
Numbers
If you store an emergency service’s number
(police department, fire department, ambu-
lance) and you choose to test the stored
number, make the test call during the late
evening or early morning hours to avoid peak
demand periods. Also, remain on the line to
explain the reason for your call.

Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive.
The answering system displays this informa-
tion after the second ring, and it stores up to
50 Caller ID records for later review. It also
shows if caller information is unavailable or if
the name and number were blocked by the
caller (see “Caller ID Messages” on
Page 21).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller
ID, you will hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears. If you want to answer the in-
coming call, press
FLASH
. To resume the
previous phone conversation, press
FLASH
again.
If the answering system’s Caller ID memory
becomes full, any new call replaces the old-
est call record.
REVIEWING CALLER ID
RECORDS
When the handset is face-up on the base, it
shows the number of new Caller ID records,
if any, and the total number of records.
To review the contents of each Caller ID
record, lift the handset and press
CALL ID
to
recall the number of records. Then, repeat-
edly press
