Optional Telephone Services
Caller ID service
Important:
LThis unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult your service provider for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the caller’s phone number can be displayed.
LPhone numbers of the last 50 callers will be logged in the Caller ID list.
LWhile listening to a message recorded by the answering system, you can call back the caller without having to dial the phone number
LWhen Caller ID information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the unit’s phonebook:
–The stored name will be displayed and logged in the Caller ID list.
–The handset will use the ringer indicator colour and pattern assigned to the caller’s category.
–The handset will announce the audible call recording you made
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system, you may not receive the caller information.
LWhen the caller dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service, “Out of Area” will be displayed.
LWhen the caller requested not to send caller information, either no information or “Private Caller” will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. qand the number of missed calls are shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the Caller ID list to see who called while you were out.
Private category
Private categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer indicator colours and ringer types for different categories of callers.
You can assign entries in the handset phonebook to a category (page 16), change the category names (“Friends”, “Family”, etc., page 27), and search for phonebook entries by category (page 17). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the ringer indicator colour (page
27)and ringer type (page 26) you select is used.
Visual call waiting (Call Waiting ID) service
This is a service of your service provider and will only operate if you have subscribed to this service. When you hear a call waiting tone during a conversation, the display will show the second caller’s information. You can answer the second call, keeping the first call on hold. Please consult your service provider for details of this service.
Audible call (KX-TCD580 only)
Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display. If you record an audible call announcement for a base unit phonebook entry (page 20), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive a call from that person.
Note:
LIf the ringer volume is turned off, audible call announcements will not be heard.
Viewing the Caller ID list and calling back
Phone numbers of the last 50 different callers will be logged in the Caller ID list. You can use this list to return missed calls.
