Caller ID

About caller ID

How caller ID history (call log) works

The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 99 incoming calls. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.

If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.

Review the caller ID history to determine who called, return the call, or copy the caller’s name and number into your directory or speed dial memory.

LX: XX Missed appears if there are new call history entries that have not been reviewed on that line (X is the line number and XX is the number of missed calls). Call log empty appears if there are no records in the call log.

The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone number are included in the display.

Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until the caller hangs up, or until the call ends.

If you subscribe to caller ID service, the time and date are automatically reset with the incoming call. You can also set the time and date manually (see Date and time on page 16).

NOTES:

•The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing caller ID information on page 51).

•Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the telephone number and 16 characters for the name. If the telephone number has more than 16 digits but fewer than or equal to 24 digits, only the last 16 digits appear. If the telephone number has more than 24 digits, it is not saved or shown in the call history. If the name has more than 16 characters, only the first 16 characters appear.
