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
z to find out who has called, return the call, or copy
the caller’s name and number into directory.
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 match es
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:
1. 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
10-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 deliv-
ered by the telephone com-
pany. For example if the tele-
phone company includes the
area code and the directory
number does not, the name
will appear as delivered by
the telephone company.
Appears when a caller
has made two or more
consecutive calls.
