Caller ID Service

Using Caller ID service

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/telephone company for details.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is being received, the calling party’s telephone number is displayed.

Telephone numbers for the last 50 callers are logged in the caller list by the most recent call to the oldest.

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 dialled from an area which does not provide Caller ID service.

Private caller”: The caller requested not to send caller information.

LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.

LIf the name display service is available in your area, the display shows caller names. For further information, please contact your service provider/telephone company.

you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out. You can view the number of missed calls by pressing {CID} (left soft key).

Note:

LIf you press {CID}, then press {OFF} without viewing all missed calls in the caller list, “Missed call” disappears from the display. When you receive another new call, it is displayed again.

Phonebook name display

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name is displayed and logged in the caller list.
