Caller ID operation

About names

Names of callers will be displayed only if this information is provided by your local telephone company.

If the telephone number of the person calling matches a num- ber in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will match the name entered into the directory.

(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as CHRIS if this is how it is entered in the directory.)

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by the telephone company. The telephone company usually delivers 10-digit tele- phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the person calling does not match a number in the directory, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone company. For example if the telephone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone company.

There are also occasions when other information or no information is displayed for various reasons:

On-screen message

Reason

PRIVATE NAME

Caller prefers to remain anonymous

PRIVATE CALLER

Caller name and telephone number are

 

not revealed at caller's request.

UNKNOWN NAME

Your local telephone company is unable

 

to determine the caller's name.

UNKNOWN CALLER

Your local telephone company is unable

 

to determine the caller's name and tele-

 

phone number. Calls from other countries

 

may also generate this message.

NOTE: While the cordless handset is idle, press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four sec- onds, the number of missed calls shown on the message counter of this cordless handset will be reset to 0 and the XX MISSED CALLS

message will be cleared.

Missed calls

When a handset is not being used, its screen will show the number of missed calls and the current date and time. XX MISSED CALLS are calls that have not been reviewed at that handset. When a NEW call log entry is reviewed, the number of missed calls at that handset decreases by one. The number of MISSED CALLS on the other cordless handset(s) remains unchanged until they are reviewed on those cordless handsets.
