Problems with Caller ID

4You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local phone company. Also, check to be sure your Caller ID feature is turned on (see page 33).

4If you are plugging your receiver to a wireless phone jack, note that it typically does not transmit Caller ID information and you may need a special wireless phone jack to use with Caller ID service. See the user’s manual that came with the wireless phone jack to see if it transmits Caller ID information. If it doesn’t, either connect the phone line directly to a standard wall-mount phone jack or install a wireless phone jack that transmits Caller ID information.
