CID-CALLER ID
CID- CALLER ID
Your VTech VT1922 cordless phone is capable of displaying the name and/or phone number of the person calling, before you answer the phone. Subscription to Caller ID service through your local phone company is required to utilize this feature.
If you subscribe to alphanumeric (name & number) Caller ID service, the calling party's name and phone number (when available) will be displayed on the LCD screen while the phone is ringing.
If you subscribe to numeric (number only) Caller ID service, the calling party's phone number (when available) will be displayed on the LCD screen while the phone is ringing.
NOTE:
You must be in an area where CID service is available and you must subscribe to it to use this feature.
If you do not subscribe to the CID service, the phone will still operate normally except that the CID information is not received or displayed.
Receiving and Storing Calls
This unit receives and displays all CID information, the caller's telephone number, the callers name and the exact date and time of the call.
The phone sequentially numbers these call records and retains them in the unit's CID memory for later review. These call record numbers are displayed as the first two digits in the display. The unit can store up to 50 numbers in its memory.
However, when you dial directly from CID memory, only the last 7 digits of the received telephone number will be used. Consequently, you would actually dial this:
The VTech VT 1922 was designed to accommodate this situation. If you need to temporarily add a long dlstance prefix and /or area code (such as 1503) before the CID number, do the following:
•Beginning from the standby mode, key in the necessary digits. Your display will look like this:
Special Message Indicators Out of Area Calls
If for any reason the telephone number of the caller is unavailable, or if the caller is outside the CID service area, the message UNAVAILABLE is displayed on the LCD.
"Private" Calls
If the caller has exercised the option to block his or her number from being sent, then the display will show
PRIVATE.
CALL WAITING CALLER ID (TYPE II CID)
Your VTech VT 1922 cordless phone is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in connection with a Call Waiting signal. If you are on a call, and receive a Call Waiting alert signal, the LCD will display the name and/or number (when available) of the party trying to reach you. As above, subscription to Call Waiting ID service through your local phone company is required in order to utilize this feature.
A WORD ABOUT CALLER ID - CID Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name & phone number from being sent.
Once the CID memory is full, any new call forces a deletion of the oldest call record.
DIALING FROM CID MEMORY
NOTE:
Only the last 7 digits of any number are displayed when dialing from CID memory.
For example, when you press and hold the 7
key to view the phone number, you would see the following:
•Then, to temporarily add the last 7 digits only from a CID memory, press CID .
• Using the | ( | ) and | (#) keys, |
scroll through | *the received calls | ||
to locate the number you wish to dial.
•Once you have located the number you wish to dial, simply press PHONE . The last seven digits will be added to the numbers already in the LCD, and the whole number shown below will be automatically dialed.
Transmission Error
If an error is detected, then the CID information is incomplete and will not be displayed. "TRANSMISSION ERROR" will be displayed on the LCD screen.
The occasional appearance of "TRANSMISSION ERROR" on your display does not indicate a problem with your unit or your telephone line. However, if this appears frequently, you may want to notify your telephone company.
