Caller ID Operation
How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your
local phone company, information about each caller will
be displayed at both the cordless handset and the base
after the first or second ring.
With most incoming calls, the screen shows the name
of the caller (up to 15 alphanumeric characters includ-
ing spaces) in the top row, and the caller's telephone
number, including the area code (up to 11 digits includ-
ing area code) in the second row. The third row shows
the date and time of the call, the total number of Caller
ID entries already stored in the handset memory, as
well as the low-battery icon if the battery is low. The
low battery icon will be displayed if the battery on the
handset is low.
If the caller has called more than one consecutive calls,
the repeat tag (*) will be displayed in the top right cor-
ner of the screen.
Caller ID and Call Waiting Functions
There may be a charge for the caller ID and call waiting
services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
• you have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as
separate services (you may need combined service),
• you have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting
service, or
• you currently do not have Caller ID or Call Waiting
services.
You can use this telephone with regular Caller ID ser-
vice, and you can use its other features without sub-
scribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with
Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these ser-
vices, and they may not be available in all areas.
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.
