Caller ID operation

This telephone has a Caller ID feature that works with caller identification service provided by your local telephone company. There is a fee for this service, and it may not be available in all areas. This phone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller identification service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

When you use this phone with caller ID service, you can see who’s calling before you answer the phone. If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting, a combined service available through many local telephone companies, you can see who’s trying to reach you even when you’re on another call. This service may be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call waiting) by different local telephone companies and may not be available

in all areas.

NOTE: You must subscribe to combined caller ID with call waiting as a single service to see caller ID information for a call waiting call. Check with your telephone company for its availability.

This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 200. The most recent call will have the highest number. (For example, if two calls have been received, call number 002 is the most recent.) When the call history is full, the earliest call information is automatically deleted to make room for new incoming call information.

The format of phone numbers displayed will depend on the home and local area codes you programmed. (See Home area code and Local area code on page 6 for explanations of area codes. See Program home and local area codes on page 38 for programming instructions.) If the call came from within your home area code, the screen displays only the seven digit number (without an area code). If the call came from one of your local area codes, the screen displays 10 digits (area code plus the seven digit number). If the call did not come from any of the area codes you programmed, (1) phone numbers with 10 or more digits will automatically have a 1 inserted and displayed before the number and, (2) phone numbers with fewer than 10 digits will be displayed without a 1.
