Caller ID summary

How caller ID works
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by
your local telephone company, information about
each caller will be displayed between the first and
second ring.

Information about the last 30 incoming calls is
stored in the call summary. You can review the call
summary to find out who has called, return the call,
or copy the caller’s name and number into direc-
tory.
If the caller has made two or more consecutive
calls, the repeat tag (

*

) will be displayed in the top

right corner of the screen.
When the call summary is full, the oldest entry is
deleted to make room for new incoming call infor-
mation.
If you answer a call before the information appears
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call sum-
mary.

About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if the infor-
mation is provided by your local telephone com-
pany.
If the incoming telephone number exactly matches
a telephone number in your directory, the name
that appears on the screen will match the corre-
sponding 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.

NOTES:

. Caller ID features will work

only if both you and the
caller are in areas offering
caller ID service, and if both
telephone companies use
compatible equipment.

2. The number shown by your

caller ID will be in the for-

mat sent by the telephone

company. The telephone

company usually delivers

0-digit telephone numbers

(area code plus telephone

number). If the telephone

number of the person call-

ing does not exactly match

a number in your directory,

the name will appear as

delivered by the telephone

company. For example, if the

telephone company includes

the area code and the direc-

tory number does not, the

name will appear as deliv-

ered by the telephone com-

pany.
