CID Error Codes

Various Caller ID error messages may appear on the display. Refer to the Display Messages section of this User ’s Guide for more information.

Receiving CID Records

When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted 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.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.

You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review show as NEW CALL XX on the top line of the display.

Reviewing CID Records

As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:

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

2.Press the 6 button to review the newest CID record.

3.Press the 5 button to review the oldest CID record first.

Dialing a CID Number

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

2.Use the 6 or 5 button to display the desired record.

3.Press the TALK/CALL BACK or SPEAKER button. The number dials automatically.

Formatting a CID Number Before Dialing

NOTE: Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s phone number is formatted when it is received, and (b) whether or not you previously pre-programmed your local area code into the PHONE SETTING menu, you may need to adjust the format of the incoming caller’s stored phone number before calling back the record.
