Preparation
Connecting to an Answering
Machine
1. Disconnect the phone line cord from
the answering machine's jack. Then
plug it into the CID's
LINE
jack.
2. Plug one end of the supplied line cord
into the CID's
PHONE
jack.
3. Plug the cord's other end into the
answering machine's jack.
4. Set your answering machine to
answer after two or more rings (see
“Receiving and Storing Calls” on
Page 17).
Two or more rings gives the CID time
to record the call information that the
phone company sends between the
first and second rings.
Note: If you subscribe to Call Waiting
service with your telephone company
and you receive a new Call Waiting
call while your answering machine is
recording another call at the same
time, the Call Waiting information
sent by the phone company will
disconnect the recording.
