Caller ID Service

This unit is compatible with Caller ID services offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to Caller ID, callers’ information will be displayed and recorded in the Caller List.

How Caller ID information is displayed

When a call comes in, the unit will ring and the Caller ID information will be received. The handset display will show the caller’s phone number after the ring.*

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

Example

0555222333

*Private 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.

The handset and base unit will announce the displayed name (Ex. “Call from TINA ROBINSON”) following every ring (Talking Caller ID feature, p. 35).

Example

TINA ROBINSON

0555222333

To use this function, names and phone numbers must be stored in the phone book (p. 41).

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 ID information, one of the following will be displayed:

Display

Meaning

Out of area

The caller dialled from an area which does not provide

 

Caller ID service.

Private caller

The caller requested not to send his/her information.

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

If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot access Caller ID services.

If the name display service is available in your area, the display will show callers’ names. For further information, please contact your telephone company.

If you subscribe to Caller ID 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. 59).

Contact Telstra or your service provider for details and availability in your area.
