Caller ID operation

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number exactly
matches a telephone number in your directory,
the name that appears on the screen will match
the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name
will appear as

Chris if this is how you entered it

into your directory.

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in

the format sent by the phone company. The phone
company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers
(area code plus phone number). If the telephone
number of the person calling does not exactly match a
number in your directory, the name will appear as
delivered by the phone company. For example if the
phone company includes the area code and the
directory number does not, the name will appear as
delivered by the phone company.

Missed calls indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has calls
that have not been reviewed, its screen will show
XX MISSED CALLS.
All entries which have not been reviewed will
be counted as missed calls when the phone is
idle. Each time an entry from the caller ID history
marked

NEW is reviewed, the number of missed

calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review all the missed
calls one by one, but you still want to keep
all the missed calls in the caller ID history,
you can press and hold

OFF

/CLEAR

on a

cordless handset or press and hold

CLEAR

on the telephone base for four seconds when
the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller
ID history will be considered old (have been
reviewed), and the missed calls counter is reset
to 0.
