3.9.1 How Caller ID is displayed

The calling party’s name or telephone number, and the called line will be displayed after the 1st ring. You then have the option of whether or not to answer the call.

The unit will automatically store caller information (name, telephone number, date and time of the call, the number of times called) from the 30 (base unit)/50 (handset) most recent callers for both lines combined. Caller information is stored by the most recent to the oldest call. When the 31st (base unit)/51st (handset) call is received, the oldest call is deleted.

Caller information can be viewed on the display one item at a time (page 45) or confirmed by printing the Caller ID list (page 113).

LWhen caller information is received and it matches a telephone number stored in the

unit’s phone book, the stored name will be displayed.

LIf the unit is connected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system, caller information

may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.

LIf the unit cannot receive caller information, the following will be displayed:

“OUT OF AREA”: The caller dialed from an area which does not provide Caller ID service.

“PRIVATE CALLER”: The caller requested

not to send caller information.

“LONG DISTANCE”: The caller made a long distance call.

LThe name display service may not be available in some areas. For further information, please contact your telephone company.

LIf the handset has lost communication with the base unit when a call is received, caller information will not be recorded in the

handset.

LIf both lines receive calls at the same time, each caller’s information will be displayed alternately.
