The first line of the record shows the caller’s name, and the second line shows the caller’s phone number. If the name or number is more than 12 char- acters long, the first 12 characters ap- pear, then, after about four seconds, the rest of the name or number scrolls onto the display.

To see the date and time of a call, press (8) while the Caller ID record is on the display. The date, time, and record num- ber appear. To return to the record, press again.

To see how many times a caller has called, press TC (9) (total calls) while the Caller ID record is on the display. The phone number and the total number of calls from that number appear. To return to the record, press TC again.
