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 phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers,
so if you have to dial a “1” first, or if you only dial seven digits, 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:
On-Screen Message

Reason

PRIVATE NAME

UNKNOWN CALLER

Your local telephone company is unable
to determine the caller's name and tele-
phone number. Calls from other coun-
tries may also generate this message.

Missed calls
When a handset is not being used, its screen will show
the number of “missed calls” and the current date and
time. “Missed” calls have not been reviewed at that
handset. When a NEW call log entry is reviewed, the
number of “missed” calls at that handset decreases
by one. The number of MISSED CALLS on the other
cordless handset(s) remains unchanged until they are
reviewed on those cordless handsets.
