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 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 in the handset 
receiver, press the flash/program button to put the 
current call on hold and answer the incoming call. 
Press flash/program 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.
