About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.
Caller ID from the home line allows you to see the name, number, date and
time of the incoming calls. The caller ID may appear differently if the caller is
matched to a directory entry (see
Memory match
on page 97).
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
f
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may
need to combine these services).
f
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
f
You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in
all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas
offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible
equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are from the
telephone service provider.
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. You can only view a
maximum of 15 digits of every caller ID log entry.
Note:
You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without
subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
