Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local phone companies. This service provides you, by means of the LCD display, the name or telephone number of your caller as the line rings.

After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory. (See Printing Caller ID List, page 5-11.)

You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.

OUT OF AREA means call originates outside your Caller ID service area.

PRIVATE CALL means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.

CALL PICKUP remains on the screen when no Caller ID information was transmitted.

If both the name and number are received, the LCD shows only the name. You can print a list of Caller ID information received by your MFC.

Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local phone company to determine the kind of service available in your area.
