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 FLASH/exit button to put the current call on hold and
answer the incoming call. Press FLASH/exit again to return to
the original call.
Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted
between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information
appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance
to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer
the call.
Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller
ID memory stores the data for the 30 most recent calls (up to 20
digits and 15 characters for each record) you received so you can
see who called while you were unavailable. And the display shows
New calls, as a reminder that there are unanswered calls. When
the 31st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is
automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received
since your last review show as NEW in the display. Calls that have
not been previously reviewed but were received from the same
number more than once show as RPT in the display.
Reviewing CID Records
As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you
know how many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:
