Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone company; if 

you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, a beep indicates the 

presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. Only the handset that is in use at the time 

of the call will display and store the Call Waiting Caller ID information.
•  When you hear the call waiting beep, press the 

menu/flash button on the base or 

the 

flash/call waiting/answerer button on the handset to put the current call on 

hold and answer the incoming call. Press the 

menu/flash or flash/call waiting/

answerer again to return to the original call. 

When you receive a call, Caller ID information is transmitted by the phone company 

to your telephone between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information 

appears on your phone’s display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to 

monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
