Caller Display and the Calls list

For Block Calls, Caller Display and the Calls list, you must subscribe to a

Caller Display service for these features to work. Your network provider

may charge you for this service.

Missed call notification

If an incoming call has been missed (i.e. not answered), the missed call

icon will be displayed on the home screen with the number of missed calls

displayed underneath it e.g.

. You can clear the notification by viewing

the calls list on any handset registered to the base. The

icon will still be

presented for missed calls in the calls list so you can differentiate between

calls. See Calls list indicators on next page.
