DIALING A CALLER ID NUMBER

When reviewing any call record in the Caller ID memory, you can dial back the caller’s number.

1.Make sure the phone is OFF (not in talk mode).

2.Press MESSAGES/CID (￿or￿) button (base) or cid/vol (￿or￿) button (cordless handset) until the desired call record is displayed.

Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s phone number is formatted when received, and (b) whether or not you pre-programmed your local area code into memory, you may need to adjust the format of the caller’s phone number before dialing it back.

The FORMAT button lets you change the format of the displayed number. Available formats include:

Number of digits		Explanation	Example
Eleven digits	long distance code “1”
	+ 3-digit area code
	+ 7-digit telephone number.		1-317-888-8888
Ten digits	3-digit area code +
	7-digit telephone number.		317-888-8888
Seven digits	7-digit telephone number.		888-8888

NOTE: If the phone company does not supply all ten digits of an incoming caller’s number, you will not be allowed to adjust the format of that number.
