CALLER ID FEATURES Understanding the Caller ID Service
Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display after the second ring of the call, also in most cases, the caller’s name, and calling time and date. This information will be stored automatically.
In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to Caller ID service (see page 5).
To use the call back feature, be sure to enter your area code (see page 7), and press the OPTION button for correct digits.
When You Received a Call
The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in the example here. If your Caller ID service includes the caller’s name, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 16 letters), as well as time & date of the call (this varies by region).
NOTE
The caller’s phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases:
-The call is made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls). The display will show “OUT OF AREA” .
-The call is “blocked”. For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other party’s Caller ID display. The display will show “ PRIVATE CALL”.
-You have picked up the phone before second ring.
-If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone number may not match the number you use to call that extension.
Call Waiting
This feature allows you to read from the LCD display the incoming call information while you are using the telephone. If you are using the telephone when a new call comes in, “CW” will be flashing on the LCD, and the phone number of the new caller will appear on the LCD. By pressing the FLASH button on your telephone, you will put on hold the party you are having the conversation with and you will be able to talk to the new caller, and the “CW” icon disappears from the LCD. After you finish the conversation with the 2nd caller, press FLASH to return to the 1st call (you may also press the HOOK switch for 2 seconds).
NOTE
Remember to subscribe to CALL WAITING CALLER ID service from your telephone com- pany (see page 5).

The phone stores the data of the last 70 calls received including “ OUT OF AREA ” and “ PRIVATE CALL” calls. It keeps track of all calls received, even if they were not answered (for example, if you are not at home).
