Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the calling party’s name and telephone number are displayed.

LGenerally caller information is displayed from the 2nd ring.
LIf the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:
–“Out of area”: The caller dialed from an area which does not provide Caller ID service.
–“Private caller”: The caller requested not to send caller information.
–“Long distance”: The caller called you long distance.
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
Missed calls

Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd caller’s information is displayed after you hear a Call Waiting tone (page 22). Please contact your telephone company for details and availability of this service in your area.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display. When a call comes in, the handset and base unit announces the caller’s name displayed on the handset following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to your telephone company’s Caller ID service.
LName pronunciation may vary. This feature may not pronounce all names correctly.
LCaller ID supports names of up to 15 letters. If the caller’s name has more than 15 letters, the name is not displayed or announced correctly.
LUsually the unit announces the caller’s name after the 2nd ring. If you turn on the answering system and set the ring count to “2” (page 41), the unit does not announce the caller’s name. If “Toll saver” is selected and there is a new message, the unit does not announce the caller’s name.
LWhen you receive a call while on the phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.
LThis feature can be turned on or off (page 35).
