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. If the callers name is stored in your machine as a Speed Dial, or One Touch dial, the callers name will be displayed. 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.
■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.
The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine’s Memory
The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.
The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.
■Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply.
You can scroll through the Caller IDs on the display and select one for your machine to dial. (See below)
