RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. When
you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the call-
er’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the call’s date
and time.
The system receives this information and displays the name (the
number will not display unless the caller name is not available) for
each call and updates the display with the current date and time.
Your system saves up to 50 call records, then replaces the oldest
call record with each new one.
During an incoming call, the LINE STATUS indicator flashes and
RINGING appears on the display. Then NEW appears, followed by
the caller’s name (or the number if the name is not available). After
ringing stops by about 6 seconds, the call information is replaced by
the time display, and
NEW flashes until you review the call records.
Note: If any phone connected to the same telephone line is picked
up, the LINE STATUS indicator lights.
REVIEWING CALL RECORDS
Each time you receive a call, the system saves a call record in mem-
ory that you can see while you are on the phone or review later.
To scroll through the call records, repeatedly press REVIEW
6 6 6 6
or
7 7 7 7
.
Note: If no call information is stored, NO CALL appears when you
press REVIEW
6 6 6 6
or
7 7 7 7
.
For each call you review, the display shows the name for about 4
seconds, then the name is replaced by the call date and time (for
about 4 seconds). The number display appears for about 5 seconds,
then the display returns to the date and time display (unless you
press
REVIEW
6 6 6 6
or
7 7 7 7
).
After you review all calls, END OF LIST appears. Press RE-
VIEW
6 6 6 6
or
7 7 7 7
to view the calls again.
