Caller ID operation
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if this information is
provided by your local telephone company.
If the telephone number of the person calling matches a num-
ber in your directory, the name that appears on the screen will
match the name entered into the directory.
(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as
CHRIS if this is how it is entered in the directory.)
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in the format sent by
the telephone company. The telephone company usually delivers 10-digit tele-
phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number
of the person calling does not match a number in the directory, the name will
appear as delivered by the telephone company. For example if the telephone
company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name
will appear as delivered by the telephone company.
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 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. Calls from other countries
may also generate this message.
Missed calls
When a handset is not being used, its screen will show
the number of missed calls and the current date and
time. XX MISSED CALLS are calls that have not been
reviewed at that handset. When a NEW call log entry
is reviewed, the number of missed calls at that handset
decreases by one. The number of MISSED CALLS on
the other cordless handset(s) remains unchanged until
they are reviewed on those cordless handsets.
