Call Display Service

This unit is compatible with Call Display services offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to Call Display service, caller names and phone numbers will be displayed and recorded in the Caller List.

How caller information is displayed and announced

When a call comes in, the unit will ring and caller information will be received. The handset display will show the caller’s information*, then the handset and base unit will announce the displayed name (e.g. “Call from ROBINSON, TINA”) following every ring (Talking Call Display feature, p. 29).

Example

ROBINSON,TINA

555-222-3333

The handset and base unit announce the caller’s name repeatedly until the call is answered.

After you answer the call, the display will show the length of the call.

*Personalized Name Display

If you receive a call from one of the phone numbers stored in the phone book, the handset will show the caller’s name stored in the phone book instead of incoming caller’s name.

If the handsets each have the same phone number stored with a different name, each handset will display the name stored in its own phone book.

If the unit does not receive caller information, one of the following will be displayed:

Display

Meaning

Unavailable

The caller dialed from an area which does not provide

Name & No.

Call Display service.

Private caller

The caller requested not to send his/her information.

Long distance

The caller made a long distance call.

Depending on radio communications with the base unit, the handset may not display caller information immediately after the first ring.

If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Call Display services, you cannot access Call Display service.

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

If you subscribe to both Call Display and Visual Call Waiting services, when a second call is received while talking, a call waiting tone will be heard and the second caller’s information will be displayed (p. 56).

Contact your telephone company for details about availability in your area, and to verify that Visual Call Waiting service is activated on your telephone line.
