Caller ID Service

Using Caller ID service

Important:

LThis 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.

For all local and national incoming calls, your display will show the area code (e.g. 09 for Auckland) or the cellular prefix (e.g. 0274 for Telecom Cellular) followed by the caller’s telephone number. An Auckland caller’s number will be displayed as 09XXXXXXX. The seven X’s represent the seven digits of the caller’s telephone number. A caller from

a6-digit Telecom Cellular number will be displayed as 0274XXXXXX. For incoming international calls, your display may only show “0000”. For business users on a Centrex line, your display will show Centrex extension numbers in the shorter extension number format used within your company.

Using toll services from Telecom or another company

Your telephone company may charge you for a local call if the number dialled has the area code prefix included. If this is unacceptable, dial only the 7-digit local number. Do not dial the {0} prefix or the area code.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is received, the caller’s phone number can be displayed.

LPhone numbers of the last 50 different callers will be logged in the caller list.

LWhen 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 display colour and ringtone assigned to the caller’s category.

LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system, you may not receive the caller information.

LWhen the caller dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service, “Out of Area” will be displayed.

LWhen 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. y is shown on the display. When the screen saver mode (page

11)is cancelled, the number of missed calls is displayed next to y. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out.

Category features for Caller ID subscribers

Categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones and display colours for different categories of callers. When adding an entry to the phonebook you can assign it to the desired category (page 16). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the category’s display colour and 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 20 when calls from this category are received. The default setting is “Ext. Ringtone”.
