Call number of call log

Appears when the call is missed and un-reviewed.

NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offer- ing caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Information about the last 30 incoming calls is stored in the call log. You can review the call log to find out who has called, return the call, or copy the caller’s name and number into directory.

When the call log is full, the oldest entry 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 the call log.

About names

Names of callers will be displayed only if the infor- mation is provided by your local telephone com- pany.

If the incoming telephone number matches an exact number in your directory, the name that appears on screen will match the name in your directory.

For example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as CHRIS if this is how you entered it into your directory.

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by the phone company. The phone company usual- ly delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the person calling does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company. For example if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name will appear as delivered by the phone company.
