Caller ID Service
Using Caller ID service
Important:
L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult your service provider for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the caller’s phone number can be displayed.
L Phone numbers of the last 50 different callers will be logged in the caller list.
L While listening to a message recorded by the answering system using the handset, you can call back the caller without having to dial the phone number
L When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the unit’s phonebook:
–The stored name will be displayed and logged in the caller list.
–The handset will use the ringtone assigned to the caller’s category.
–Both the base unit and handset will announce the audible call recording you made
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system, you may not receive the caller information.
L When the caller dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service, “Out of Area” will be displayed.
L When the caller requested not to send caller information, either no information or “Private Caller” will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. The number of missed calls is shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out.
Category features for handset phonebook
Categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for different categories of callers. When adding an entry to the handset phonebook you can assign it to the desired category (page 19). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the category’s ringtone you select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category. If you select “Ext. Ringtone”, the unit will use the external ringtone you set on page 26 when calls from this category are received. The default setting is “Ext. Ringtone”.

Audible call for shared phonebook (KX-TG1233 only)

Note:
L Audible call announcements will not be announced from an extension if its ringer volume is turned off.
