RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS

D) CALLER ID

What is Caller ID? (Caller IDentification)

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine’s memory. In addition to the standard Caller ID features, you can select a Caller ID and have your machine dial the number for you.

NOTICE

To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

To PABX Users :

Calling line identification signals are not generally delivered to your Brother fax machine if it is connected behind a private branch exchange (PBX) system or other call routing device.

Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

Helpful Hints

If “# UNAVAILABLE” appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area. *

If “# WITHHELD” appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *

If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, “PICK UP PHONE” will remain on the display.

* Depends on network Function.
