Caller ID
6
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. Call your telephone
company for details. This service shows the
telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
You can use a number in the Caller ID History
to send a fax, add it to Speed-Dial, or delete
it from the history. (See Caller ID history on
page 50.)
After a few rings, the LCD shows the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you pick up the external
phone's handset, the Caller ID information
disappears from the LCD, but the call
information stays stored in the Caller ID
memory.
„ You can see the first 15 characters of the
number (or name).
„ The Out of Area message means the
call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
„ The Private Call message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See Printing
Caller ID List on page 42.)
Note
Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local telephone
company to find out about the kind of
service available in your area.
