Using Caller ID service
Important:
L
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To
use Caller ID features, you must
subscribe to Caller ID service.
Consult your service provider/
telephone company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received,
the calling party’s name and phone
number are displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers
is logged in the caller list by the most
recent call to the oldest.
L
Generally caller information is
displayed from the 2nd ring.
L If the unit cannot receive caller
information, the following is
displayed:
– “
Out of area ”: The caller dialed
from an area which does not
provide Caller ID service.
– “ Private caller ”: The caller
requested not to send caller
information.
– “ Long distance ”: The caller
called you long distance.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX
system, caller information may not be
received properly. Consult your PBX
supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats
the call as a missed call. The display
shows “
missed call ”. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to
see who called while you were out.
Custom name display
When the Caller ID number is received
and it matches a phone number stored
in the phonebook, the stored name from
the phonebook is displayed and logged
in the caller list.
Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and
Call Waiting with Caller ID services, the
2nd caller’s information is displayed
after you hear a Call Waiting tone.
Press {CALL WAIT} to answer the 2nd
call.
L
To switch between calls, press
{
CALL WAIT}.
Note:
L
Please contact your service provider/
telephone company for details and
availability of this service in your area.
Group settings for handset
phonebook
Group settings can help you identify
who is calling by using different ringer
tones and display colors for different
groups of callers. When adding an entry
to the handset phonebook you can
assign it to desired group (page 19).
When a call is received from a caller
assigned to a group, the group's display
color and ringer tone you selected are
used.
Changing group ringer tones
If you select “
No ringer ID
”, the unit
will use the external ringer tone you set
on page 27 when calls from this group
are received. The default is “
No
ringer ID
”.
