Using Caller ID service
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to
your telephone company’s Caller ID
service.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the
calling party’s name and telephone
number will be displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 different
callers will be logged in the caller list,
allowing you to return missed calls. Caller
information is stored by the most recent
call to the oldest.
L
When Caller ID information is received
and it matches a phone number stored
in the phonebook, the handset will use
the ringer tone and the ringer indicator
color you assigned to the caller.
(Ringer
ID and light-up ID)
L
While listening to a message recorded
by the answering system, using the
handset, you can call back the caller
without having to dial the phone number
(page 49).
L
If the unit cannot receive caller
information, the following will be
displayed:
“
Out of area
”: The caller dialed from
an area which does not provide Caller ID
service.
“
Private caller
”: The caller
requested not to send caller information.
“
Long distance
”: The caller called
you long distance.

If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
caller information may not be received
properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call
Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd
caller’s information will be displayed after
you hear a Call Waiting tone (page 22).
Note:
L
Please contact your telephone company
for details and availability of this service
in your area.
Talking Caller ID
This feature allows you to know who is
calling without looking at the display. When
a call comes in, the handset and base unit
will announce the caller’s name displayed
on the handset following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to
your telephone company’s Caller ID
service.
L
If the unit does not receive Caller ID
information, the unit will announce “
Call
from out of area ”, “ Call from private
caller ”, or “ Call from long distance ”.
L
If a call is received from an area where
name display service is not available,
“
Number available ” will be announced.
L
Name pronunciation may vary. This
feature may not pronounce all names
correctly.
L
The unit will announce each letter of
abbreviations, such as “Co.” and “Inc.”.
L
Caller ID supports names of up to 15
letters. If the caller’s name has more
than 15 letters, the name will not be
displayed or announced correctly.
L
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring
service (such as IDENTA-RING), your
unit may mute one or more of the rings in
order to announce the name of the
caller.
L
If the ringer volumes of the handset and
base unit are turned off, caller names
will not be announced. The
announcement is heard at the ringer
volume (page 36, 42).
