Caller ID Features

Caller ID

When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller’s name and phone number on the display before you answer the phone.

The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the name, time, and the number of calls. Additionally, you can dial the displayed number and store the information for memory dialing.

Setting Caller ID options/Language

There are three Caller ID setup options available; they are Instant Talk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code.

Instant Talk allows you to answer the phone without pressing the TALK/FLASH button. If the phone rings when Instant Talk is on, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. If the phone rings when Instant Talk is off, you must press TALK/FLASH to answer the call.

Note Instant Talk is referred to as Auto Talk in the screen.

Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a Call Waiting number. You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in order to use this feature.

If you enter a 3-digit area code number in the Area Code option, your local area code does not appear in Caller ID messages. When reviewing Caller ID messages, you will see only the local seven digit number. For calls received from outside your local area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.

Note If your calling area requires 10-digit dialing, do not program this option.

Language option can be used to choose the language of your display. You can select either English or French.

To change your Caller ID options/Language:

1 Press and hold CID/MENU. The following screen appears.

2 Use ▲ and ▼ or a number key (1-5) to move the pointer to the selection that you would like to change.

•For Instant Talk, press the SELECT key to toggle between On or Off.

•For CIDCW, press the SELECT key to toggle between On or Off.

•To change the Area Code, press SELECT and use the number keypad to enter the Area Code, then press SELECT again. (You will hear a confirmation tone indicating the area code has been changed.)

•To set up the language of your display, move

the pointer to “Language”. Press SELECT to select “Eng” (English) or “Fr.” (French).

3 After you have made your selections, press OFF and return the handset to the base.
