Call log notes
If your system has the appropriate equipment, and you subscribe to the call information feature
supplied by your service provider, you can record information about calls received from an
external line. ISDN service packages that come with calling line identification (CLID) can supply
the same feature.
Note: Your cordless and wireless telephones may not support this feature, or they may only
support some of the functions of the feature. The WLAN IP telephone, for instance, does not have
the capability to scroll through a log file. Therefore the use of logs on these telephones is
extremely limited.
Call Log creates a record of incoming external calls to a telephone even if the telephone does not
have that line assigned. For each call, the log can contain:
• sequence number in the Call Log
• name and number of the caller
• indication if the call was long distance
Dialing options Standard dial

Standard: Pick up the receiver and dial.
