Caller ID Features
Understanding the Caller ID service
Caller ID allows the caller's phone number to be shown on the display
before the call is answered. In order to use this feature, you must first
subscribe to the Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary
depending on your telephone company.
To use this feature, be sure to enter your area code (see page 13).
When you receive a call
^'The phone number appears on the display with the date and time* as
shown in the following example.
If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service, the caller's
name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).
Handset
Caller's name-------------------------------
Caller's phone number---------
The date and time received- ■SMITH JOHN
-1-201-123-4567
-------- S'-53
* The display on the base phone
doesn't show the date and time.
When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the
"TALK" or "SPEAKERPHONE" display.
Notes
• If the RING switch on the handset is set to OFF:
- when the handset is off the base phone, the Caller ID is not displayed, and it is
not kept in the Caller ID list (see page 33). If you set it back to ON while the
phone is ringing, the Caller ID appears.
- when the handset is on the base phone, the Caller ID is displayed, and it is kept
in the Caller ID list.
• The caller's phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases:
- "OUT OF AREA": when the call is made through a telephone company which
does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls).
- "PRIVATE": when the call is "blocked." For privacy reasons, many states allow
callers the option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on
the other party's Caller ID display.
• If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone number
may not match the number you use to call the extension.
About the memory match function
If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the
ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons (see page 19), speed dialing keys (see page 21)
or in the Phone Directory (see page 23), the ringer sound will change to a
higher tone from the second ring.
Note
The memory match function does not work with "OUT OF AREA" or "PRIVATE"
calls; and it may not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines
because the number docs not always match the one you stored in this phone.
