calls to review. It is displayed until any button is pressed.
NOTE: The number of new calls is displayed until all new calls have
been reviewed.
Receiving and Storing CID Calls
This unit receives and displays information transmitted by your local
phone company. This information can include the phone number, date,
and time; or the name, phone number, date, and time. The unit can
store up to 75 calls for later review. When the memory is full, a new call
automatically replaces the oldest call in memory. NEW appears in the
display for calls received that have not been reviewed.

to the number can be made. The information sent from the
telephone company is known to be a valid number for dialing back
(used only in very limited areas). Once you pickup the phone, the
number is automatically dialed.
If You Programmed Your Local Area Code
1. Use either 5 or 6 button to display the number you want to dial.
2. Press the
DIAL button.
• If you see a number with seven digits (i.e. 555-1234), then the call is
from within your area code. However, this does not guarantee the call
is a local call.
• If you see a number with 11 digits (i.e. 1-234-555-1234), then the call is
not from within your area code.
NOTE: A timer (10 seconds on-hook and 3 seconds off-hook)
located in the upper right side of the display will start, letting you
know how much time is left until the unit returns to the Summary
Screen.
3. If you are at on-hook and PICKUP OR ADJ displays, you can adjust
the phone number format by pressing the DIAL button. If the phone is
off-hook and ADJUST shows in the display, you can adjust the phone
number format by pressing the DIAL button. For example, sometimes
a 7-digit local number cannot be dialed because it requires a 10-digit
or 11-digit format. Press the DIAL button repeatedly to scroll through
the 7, 10, and 11-digit numbers.
7-digits: 7-digit telephone number (i.e. 555-5555)
10-digits: 3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number (i.e. 425-555-
5555)
11-digits: long distance code 1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone
number (i.e. 1-425-555-5555)
4. To dial the displayed number, and the phone is on-hook, pick up the
handset or press the SPEAKER button before the timer reaches 0. If the
phone is off-hook, wait until the time reaches 0. NOW DIALING shows
in the display and the number is dialed.
If You Did Not Program Your Local Area Code
1. Use the 5 or 6 button to display the number you want to dial. You will
only see 10-digit numbers (i.e. 234- 555-1234).
2. See steps 2 through 4 in the previous section to complete the
dialback process.
