Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. y is shown on the display. When the screen saver mode (page
11)is cancelled, the number of missed calls is displayed next to y. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out.
Category features for Caller ID subscribers
Categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones and display colours for different categories of callers. When adding an entry to the phonebook you can assign it to the desired category (page 16). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the category’s display colour and ringtone you select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category. If you select “Ext. Ringtone”, the unit will use the external ringtone you set on page 20 when calls from this category are received. The default setting is “Ext. Ringtone”.
