Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.

Information about caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

•You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).

•You have only caller ID, or only call waiting service.

•You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

There may be fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.

This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID services and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service provider along with the call information.

The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

note: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

About home area code

See Home area code on page 14 to determine if you should enter your area code. Entering the area code changes how numbers are displayed in the caller ID history and how to return a call from the caller ID history (see View the dialing options on page 36).
