CALLER ID INFORMATION
The local Telephone Company offers caller ID Service in most areas of the country. This service allows the called party to
know the phone number of the person calling.
The Always-in-Touch unit is capable of decoding the Caller ID number and sending it to your digital or alphanumeric pager.
Caller ID information comes to the subscriber in the form of a short burst of tones between the first and the second ring
signal. Consequently, if the phone is answered before the second ring the Caller ID data may not be captured. Therefore, if
you are using Caller ID service with this product, be sure to set answering machines, FAX machines, and modems to answer
on at least the second ring.
The Caller ID information is delivered for all local calls, but you will not receive the caller's number on all long distance calls.
Fortunately, more long distance calls are be identified every day. Long distance calls that are not identified are said to be "Out
of Area" and will show up as "
0000
" on your pager. Any telephone company customer can request that their number not be
transmitted to the called party. These customers are said to be "Private Callers". A private caller will show up as "
5555
" on
your pager.
