Caller ID

Operation

You can use this telephone with regular Caller ID ser- vice, and you can use its other features without sub- scribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.There may be fees for these ser- vices, and they may not be available in all areas.

Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

There are also occasions when other information or no information is displayed for various reasons:

On-Screen Message	Reason
PRIVATE NAME	Caller prefers to remain anonymous.

PRIVATE CALLER	Caller's name and telephone number are
	not revealed at caller's request.

UNKNOWN NAME	Your local telephone company is unable
	to determine the caller's name.

UNKNOWN CALLER	Your local telephone company is unable
	to determine the caller's name and tele-
	phone number. Long-distance calls from
	overseas also generate this message.
