Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. qand the number of missed calls are shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the Caller ID list to see who called while you were out.
Private category
Private categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer indicator colours and ringer types for different categories of callers.
You can assign entries in the handset phonebook to a category (page 15), change the category names (“Friends”, “Family”, etc., page 25), and search for phonebook entries by category (page 16). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the ringer indicator colour (page
25)and ringer type (page 24) you select is used.
Audible call (KX-TCD580 only)
Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display. If you record an audible call announcement for a base unit phonebook entry (page 19), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive a call from that person.
