Caller ID Operation
How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your
local phone company, information about each caller will
be displayed after the first ring.
Information about the last 90 incoming calls is stored in
your call log. You can review the call log to find out
who has called, return the call without dialing, or
transfer the caller’s name and number into your phone
directory.
Each incoming call is numbered. The most recent call is
assigned the highest number. When the call log is full,
the oldest call information is deleted to make room for
new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in your call log.
