BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the following items:
Telephone line cord
f VERY IMPORTANT: You must call your local phone company and tell the representative that you have a Caller
ID/Call Waiting device that integrates the two services (called Type II Caller ID). Some phone companies aren't
equipped to integrate the two services, which means only the Caller ID part of your unit will work. The phone
companies that do have the ability to integrate Call Waiting and Caller ID must program your telephone line so
Qi the two services work together. You need to call and ask them to do this.
ra CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions that should always be
followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them
к for future reference.
