Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who is calling before answering the telephone, even when on another call. You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service provider if: • You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service). • You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service. • You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services. You can use this product with regular caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There are fees for caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number. 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 sent by the service provider along with the call information. Copyright © 2006 Advanced American Telephones. All rights reserved.
