Using On-Screen Menus

Tip

If you’d like more information to appear in your Caller ID alert and call list, or if you’d like to subscribe to Caller ID, check with your local phone company about the availability of different types of Caller ID service.

Setting Up Caller ID

To set up your Caller ID, display the Quick Menu and select Caller ID & Msgs, then select Caller ID and Edit Settings. Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the setting you want to change, then press SELECT to view the options for that setting.

Notification Lets you turn Caller ID notification on or off. Setting this to On displays the on-screen Caller ID alert when a call is received. You may want to turn this feature off when you are recording manually and do not want the on- screen messages to appear on your recordings. Your calls will be stored in the Caller ID Log screen even when notification is turned off.

Receiving Calls

When your phone rings twice and Notification is set to On, an alert appears at the bottom of the screen temporarily (except in the guide and in full-screen menus). To clear the Caller ID alert from the screen, press the EXIT button on the remote control. To turn notification off permanently, press the down arrow button to highlight Disable Notification and press SELECT.

The alert may include the phone number by itself or both the name and phone number. The alert information depends on the type of service your telephone company provides.

The Caller ID alert will override closed captioning at the bottom of the screen (if any is being displayed) and will appear for 30 seconds. The Caller ID alert is displayed over live TV only.

Note: If you're using your telephone and another call arrives, the new call’s information won’t appear in the alert or be recorded in the Caller ID Log screen unless you have type II service and a type II Caller ID box in your house.

If you receive a call while recording a program, the Caller ID alert will display (and be recorded) as selected under Notification.

At all times Caller ID messages will be stored in the Call Log screen (unless a call arrives when you are on the telephone and you do not have a Type II box or Type II service).

Caller ID Indicators

Your Caller ID alert and call list might display the following text:

Out of Area The name and/or phone number of the incoming call is coming from outside the local area.

Private Name The name of the incoming call is sent as “Blocked” from the phone company.

Private Number The phone number of the incoming call is sent as “Blocked” from the phone company.
