Connecting Caller ID Display Units

To get Caller ID information for an extension, you must first subscribe to the service (on a per-line basis) from your local telephone company, then connect the units as described here. You must connect the Caller ID display unit directly to the line that supports Caller ID at the network interface jack. Additionally, you must provide a separate wiring run for the unit to the appropriate location. To have additional wiring runs installed, call a qualified service technician.

NOTE:

To have Caller ID for multiple lines at a single phone, you must provide a separate box and a separate wiring run for each line.
