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,
