Caller ID OperatIon

About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if this informa-
tion is provided by your local telephone company.
If the telephone number of the person calling exactly
matches a number in your directory, the name that
appears on the screen will match the name that you
entered into your directory.
(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear
as CHRIS if this is how you entered it into your direc-
tory.)

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 num-

ber 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.

There are also occasions when other information or no
information is displayed for various reasons:
