ET-521 25-Channel Cordless Telephone w/Caller ID
(430-1021) Caller ID Faxback Doc. # 48213
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the ET-521
automatically displays the information the phone company sends between the
first and second rings of every call you receive. It stores up to 99
number only or name and number call records in its Caller ID memory.
It also shows the date and time the call was received. The display also
shows if caller information is not available or if the number is blocked
by the sender (see "Caller ID Displays" below).
The NEW CALL and MESSAGE indicators light on the base during an incoming
call, and the call record and NEW appear for 15 seconds, then the display
blanks out.
If you subscribe to your phone company's message waiting service, your
system informs you when you have a message waiting. If the MESSAGE
indicator on the base flashes and (envelope) appears, you have a voice
message in your mailbox. (Envelope) disappears from the display after 15
seconds, but the MESSAGE indicator flashes until you retrieve the message
or delete the Caller ID record.
If you subscribe to Call Waiting, the NEW CALL and MESSAGE indicators
light on the base during a call and Call Waiting appears briefly. The
Caller ID record appears. If you want to answer the incoming call, press
FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

USING A HEADSET
You can make or answer calls with hands-free convenience using an optional
headset that has a 3/32-inch (2.5 mm) plug. We recommend RadioShack Cat.
No. 43-194, which is specially designed for use with the ET-521.
To connect the headset, insert the headset's plug into the headset jack on
the top of the handset.
Notes: Connecting a headset disconnects the handset's earpiece and
microphone.
If you place the handset on the base to recharge it while the
headset is connected, be sure the handset seats properly.
With a headset connected, you make or answer calls as usual using the keys
on the handset.
RadioShack also sells a handset holder (Cat. No. 43-197) which lets you
hang the handset on your belt for hands-free conversation.
