How Does Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the Display shows you the caller’s phone number (or

caller’s name in certain states). You will know who is calling before you pick up the
handset or before your machine automatically receives the call. Once you pick up
the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. If both the caller’s phone number and name

are received, only the name will appear on the Display. You will see the first 16
characters of the number or name.

Helpful Hints

• If OUT OF AREA appears on the Display, it means that the call

came from outside your caller ID service area.

• If PRIVATE CALL appears on the Display, it means the caller

intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID.

• If no caller ID was transmitted to your machine, CALL PICKUP will

remain on the display.

N O T E : Please set the number of rings to more than 02 to use Caller ID. If you set the

number of rings to 01, you can not receive the Caller ID.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine’s Memory

The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory,

along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to
be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be scrolled through on the

display.

And you can also print the Caller ID list and review calls you received by checking
the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number

(Caller ID), Name (in certain states), and type of call (Comment). (See page 6-
30~31.)

Scanning through the Caller IDs Stored in the Memory

You can display the caller IDs that are stored in the memory as follows. (You can skip
