Caller ID Service
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 phone number is 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.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be properly received. Contact your PBX supplier.
LIf the name display service is available in your area, the display shows caller names. For further information, please contact your service provider/ telephone company.
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:
L Even when there are unviewed missed calls, “Missed call” disappears from the standby display if
the following operation is performed by one of the registered handsets:
–Being replaced on the base unit or charger.
–Pressing {OFF}.
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is displayed and logged in the caller list.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:
–subscribe to Caller ID service of your service provider/telephone company.

When caller information is received, the handsets and base unit announce the caller’s phone number received from your service provider/telephone company following every ring.
The unit announces in English only. L The announcement is heard at the
same level as the ringer volume (page 14, 22).
L If you turn on the answering system and set the number of rings “2 rings” (page 36), the unit does not announce the caller information. If “Toll saver” is selected and there is a new message, the unit does not announce the caller information.
L When you receive a call while on the phone, the 2nd caller’s information is not announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.
