Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who's calling before you answer the phone, even when you're on another call. You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service provider if: · You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service) · You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service · You don't subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services. You can also use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this product's other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas. This phone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. About the Data Port If you want to connect another device (such as a modem or fax machine) to the wall jack, you can use the jack on the phone labeled DATA PORT. This convenience port uses Line 2; a call picked up on Line 2 at this or another extension, or incoming Caller ID information, may interrupt a fax, modem, or message transmission.
