Caller ID service from your phone company !
This unit is compatible with the Caller ID service offered by your local telephone
company. To use this feature, you must subscribe to the Caller ID service.
How Caller ID is displayed
The calling party’s name or telephone number will be displayed after the first ring.
You then have the option of whether or not to answer the call depending on the caller.
The unit will automatically store the caller information (name, telephone number and the time of
the call). You can view the caller information (p. 34, 35) and print the caller ID list (p. 90).

names with the Caller ID.
Note for New Zealand users:
● Telecom New Zealand does not currently send a NAME for Caller ID.
● Your telephone service provider may charge you for a local call when it is dialled with an area code prefix.
If the charge for local call is unacceptable, only the 7-digits of the local number should be dialled from
your telephone. Do not dial the ‘‘0’’ prefix or the area code digit.
