Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive.
The phone displays this information after the
second ring, and it stores up to 50 Caller ID
records for later review. It also shows if caller
information is unavailable or if the name and
number were blocked by the caller (see
“Caller ID Messages”).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller
ID, you will hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears. If you want to answer the in-
coming call, press
FLASH . To resume the
previous phone conversation, press FLASH
again.
If the phone’s Caller ID memory becomes
full, any new call replaces the oldest call’s
record.
