Using Caller ID service

Ann

555-321-5555

This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to your telephone company’s Caller ID service.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is being received, the calling party’s name and telephone number are displayed.

Caller information for the last 50 different callers is logged in the caller list, allowing you to return missed calls. Caller information is stored by the most recent call to the oldest.

LGenerally caller information is displayed from the 2nd ring.

LIf the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:

–“Out of area”: The caller dialed from an area which does not provide Caller ID service.

–“Private caller”: The caller requested not to send caller information.

–“Long distance”: The caller called you long distance.

LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.

Private name display

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name is displayed and logged in the caller list.

Call Waiting Caller ID display

If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd caller’s information is displayed after you hear a Call Waiting tone (page 21).

Note:

LPlease contact your telephone company for details and availability of this service in your area.

Talking Caller ID

This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display. When a call comes in, the handset announces the caller’s name displayed on the handset following every ring.

To use this feature, you must subscribe to your telephone company’s Caller ID service.

LName pronunciation may vary. This feature may not pronounce all names correctly.

LCaller ID supports names of up to 15 letters. If the caller’s name has more than 15 letters, the name is not displayed or announced correctly.

LUsually the handset announces the caller’s name after the 2nd ring.

LWhen you receive a call while on the phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.

LThis feature can be turned on or off (page 47).

Ringer ID

This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringers for different callers stored in the phonebook (page 23). You can assign a different ringer to each phonebook item. When a call is received from a caller stored in the phonebook, the ringer is used after Caller ID information is displayed.
