ˆCaller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the phone company sends information about the call, as well as the time and date, between the first and sec- ond rings of every call you receive. This in- formation appears after the second ring on both the handset's and the base's displays. The display also shows if caller information is unavailable or if the name and number were blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messag- es” on Page 23).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, you will hear a tone through the handset when a call comes in, then the Caller ID record appears. If you want to answer the in- coming call, press FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.
The handset has Caller ID memory to store the information received for up to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It stores the infor- mation even when you answer the call using the speakerphone.
If the Caller ID memory becomes full, any new call replaces the oldest call's record.
The base's NEW CALL indicator also flashes when the phone receives a call with Caller ID information and you have not yet reviewed it. Use the handset's Caller ID memory to re- view the information about the calls received.
