█Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
█Storing CID Records
Your base telephone’s Caller ID memory stores the data for the 20 most recent calls received. When the 21st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review show as NEW in the display. Calls that have not been previously reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as REPT in the display.
█Talking Caller ID Setting
Your ClearSounds® A1600 can announce the caller’s number between rings. If you have stored a phone number in the phonebook and recorded the corresponding name, when an incoming call with this number comes in, the phone will announce the name associated with this number. See page 41 for instructions on changing the Talking Caller ID setting and page 45 for instructions on recording a phonebook name.
█Caller ID on Call Waiting
When you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your local telephone provider, the telephone will display the Caller ID information of the second call while you are on the first call.
