Problems with Caller ID

You must subscribe to



Caller ID service through your local phone company.

Also, check to be sure your Caller ID feature is turned on (see page 33).

If you are plugging your receiver to a wireless phone jack, note that it typically does not transmit



Caller ID

information; you may need a special wireless phone jack for Caller ID service. See the user’s manual that came
with the wireless phone jack to see if it transmits Caller ID information. If it doesn’t, either connect the phone line
directly to a standard wall-mount phone jack or install a wireless phone jack that transmits Caller ID information.
