Call Waiting

CALL WAITING

Call Waiting Service from your local telephone company tells you when you have a

call while you are on the phone. Call Waiting sends you the Call Waiting Tone, when

you have another call. If you don’t want to be disturbed during a call, you can tem-

porarily Cancel Call Waiting before you dial or during a conversation.

To Use Call Waiting:

1. Press and release when you hear the Call Waiting beep. The first call is

placed on temporary hold and you are connected to the new call.

2. Press and release to return to the first call and put the second call on

hold. You can alternate between calls as often as necessary.

CALLER ID AND CALL WAITING ID

One of the best features of your phone is the use of Caller ID and Call Waiting ID,

which allows you to see information about an incoming call before you pick up the

phone.

❑ Caller ID allows you to see information about a call BEFORE you pick up the

telephone.

❑ Call Waiting ID lets you know who is calling even when you are on the phone.

In addition to hearing the Call Waiting beep, you have the information you

need to choose whether or not to answer a waiting call. With Call Waiting ID

you use the key to transfer between calls. Call Waiting ID is not available

in all your local telephone company areas. Contact your your local telephone

company representative for details on availablity.

❑ Call Waiting Disposition is a future service that will allow you to route your

incoming call to 1 of 5 choices.

With these services from your local telephone company, the CL980 telephone dis-

plays and records information about the call.

Before you use these features on your CL980 telephone, you must first subscribe to

the services through your local telephone company. You need to also have the ser-

vices turned on in the phone through the programming setup procedure. Both the

Easy Setup and the Detailed Setup have these options turned on as defaults. For

more details on setting installation options, Personalizing Your Phone on page 7.

RECEIVING NEW CALLS

When you receive a new call, the new call light flashes and the call information

shows on the display. The new call light would not flash if you answered the call or

if you turned off the call light during programming setup.
