CALLER ID (CID)
Caller ID (CID) is a service available from your local telephone company. For Caller ID to work on this system, you must subscribe to Caller ID service. To receive Caller ID information for a Call Waiting call, you must subscribe to the combined Caller ID Call Waiting service.
When your telephone rings, and you are subscribed to Caller ID Call Waiting service, you will receive information (if available) transmitted by your local telephone company. You will also receive Caller ID information from Call Waiting calls. If you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting Call on the line, and Caller ID information for the Call Waiting call shows on the display. This information may include the phone number, date and time; or the name, phone number, and date and time.
RECEIVING AND STORING CID RECORDS
When you receive a call, Caller ID information is transmitted by the phone company to your Caller ID telephone between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory automatically stores the call number, date, time, phone number, and name for the 99 most recent calls so you can see who called while you were unavailable. CID records are stored sequentially, in the order they are received. When the 100th call is received, the oldest CID record is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information for the most recent 99 calls at any time. Calls received since your last review show as NEW in the display.
REVIEWING CID RECORDS
As CID records are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how many calls you have received.
