Caller ID Features
MESSAGE LIGHT
An indicator marked NEW CALL will light up to let you know when there are new calls
received.
If you have a TalkSwitch voice mailbox associated to the local extension where this
phone is connected, another indicator marked MESSAGE will flash to alert you of new
messages. Dial ‘ * * + your extension number’ to access messages. If Direct Line Access
is enabled, you will need to press HOLD/FLASH first.
The MESSAGE indicator also monitors the unit’s situation. When the phone is in use, the
MESSAGE indicator will be on continuously. If the indicator is flashing quickly, it means
the phone is ringing. If it is not ringing and the light is flashing, the unit has experienced a
power outage. Take the handset off hook then back on hook again to stop the flashing
light.
MESSAGE WAITING
This unit’s MESSAGE WAITING DETECTION is for both FSK and Stutter Tone Systems.
IF YOUR SERVICE IS FSK (Including TalkSwitch):
1. If you have a voice mailbox service from the phone company, the MESSAGE indicator
will flash and [MESSAGE WAITING] will appear on the display for 20 seconds when
a message waiting signal (on) from the Central Office or TalkSwitch is received.
2. The MESSAGE indicator will go off and [MSG WAITING OFF] will appear for 20
seconds if the message waiting off signal is sent from the Central office or TalkSwitch.
IF YOU ARE IN AN AREA WHERE AN FSK SIGNAL IS NOT AVAILABLE:
1. This unit will check your line for a stutter dial tone every time you hang up or each time
a call goes unanswered. The MESSAGE indicator will flash when there is a message
waiting.
2. You may experience some delay in seeing the MESSAGE indicator light up even
though there are messages in your rnail box. This delay is due to regulatory matters
and does not indicate a problem with the unit.
This unit may not be activated or deactivated under certain conditions. For example,
when you retrieve your message from an outside phone (not your own telephone
number), the MESSAGE indicator may not be canceled when you return home. If you
experience this situation, pick up the receiver and hang up. The MESSAGE indicator will
cancel.
