The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. Call your telephone company for details. This service shows the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (and name, if available). Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information stays stored in the Caller ID memory.
You can view the list or choose one of these numbers to fax to, add to Speed Dial or delete from the history. (See Caller ID history
You can see the first 18 characters of the number (or name).
The # Unavailable message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.
The Private Call message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine. (See How to print a report on page 74.)
