Using Caller ID service
Important:
L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/ telephone company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the caller’s name and phone number are displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers is logged in the caller list from the most recent call to the oldest.
L If the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:
–“Out of area”: The caller dials from an area which does not provide a Caller ID service.
–“Private caller”: The caller requests not to send caller information.
–“Long distance”: The caller makes a long distance call.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be properly received. Contact your PBX supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a missed call. The display shows “Missed call”. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were away.
Note:
