Displaying caller information

This chapter provides information on the messages that appear on the read-out
screen on display phones.
Your system uses automatic incoming call display to provide information about
incoming calls to a display phone that is in use, or active on a call. The
information is displayed for 30 seconds on all phones except for CALLMASTER
phones, where the display goes blank after 30 seconds. However, the information
for each new call overrides the existing message.
Call information appears on the display only if the call terminates at the phone.
For example, if the call is forwarded to another extens io n, no call information
appears.
Refer to ‘‘Telephone Displays’ ’ on page 1499 for more information on the buttons
and languages you can set up for the messages that appear on the display.
