Caller ID  
About caller ID information  
If you subscribe to caller ID service from your local telephone company, this feature displays the  
name and telephone number of the caller before answering a call (even when you are on another  
call)  The caller ID features of this product will work only if you subscribe to caller ID service and  
both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use  
compatible equipment  
Contact your local telephone company 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 do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services but wish to try them  
There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas  
This product can be used without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting  
service, although the caller ID features of this product will not function
