isn’t working. • Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to
this service from your local telephone company for this
feature to work on your phone.
• Your caller must be calling from an area that supports
caller ID.
• Both you and your caller’s telephone companies must
use caller ID compatible equipment.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital
subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you
must install a DSL filter between the telephone base
and the telephone wall jack (page 7). The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference.
Please contact your DSL service provider for more
information about DSL filters.

not receive
caller ID when
on a call. • Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting
features provided by your local telephone company.
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.
