CALLER ID FEATURES
Caller ID
You must subscribe to the Caller ID service from your local telephone company to use this feature.
When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller's name and phone number on the display before you answer the phone.
When you review the Caller List, the handset displays the phone number of the incoming calls, the caller’s name, time called, and the number of calls received. You can dial the displayed number and store the information in the directory for memory dialing.
Note:
You must subscribe to Caller ID on Call Waiting (Visual Call Waiting) if you want to see the name/number of the second caller while you are already on the phone. (See page E36.)
Setting Caller ID options
There are four Caller ID setup options available:
AutoTalk On/Off,
CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting) On/Off/Opt,
Area Code and
Language (English or French).
See next page for more detailed instructions.
AutoTalk On/Off allows you to turn on or off the AutoTalk feature that automatically turns the handset into talk mode when you pick it up from the base. The factory default setting is Off.
Note:
When you subscribe to Caller ID service, you may not want to answer every incoming call before you know who is calling. When AutoTalk is set to off, you must press TALK/END to answer the call.
Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a second call. You must subscribe to this service (Visual Call Waiting, for example) from your phone company in order to use this feature.
The Area Code option can be used to program your area code in the Caller ID memory. When an incoming call has the same area code as yours, the phone automatically recognizes it as a local number and drops the area code when dialing or storing the number directly from the Caller ID list. You may wish to enter your local area code before you use this phone for the first time or if you move to a new area.
The Language option can be used to choose the language of your display. You can choose either English or French.
