CHANGING THE TIME AND DATE DISPLAY

first call. This information is sent by the phone company.

peatedly press DELETE. To toggle between viewing the date format

in month, then date (M/D), or date, then month (D/M), hold down DE-

USING THE AUTO DIMMER

The display automatically adjusts its brightness according to the am-

bient light. If the ambient light is too strong, the display becomes

brighter; otherwise, it will be dimmer.

Note: The display has three brightness levels.

RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS

Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. When

you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the call-

er’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the call’s date

and time.

The system receives this information and displays the name (the

number will not display unless the caller name is not available) for

each call and updates the display with the current date and time.

Your system saves up to 50 call records, then replaces the oldest

call record with each new one.

During an incoming call, the LINE STATUS indicator flashes and

RINGING appears on the display. Then NEW appears, followed by

the caller’s name (or the number if the name is not available). After

ringing stops by about 6 seconds, the call information is replaced by

the time display, and NEW flashes until you review the call records.

Note: If any phone connected to the same telephone line is picked

up, the LINE STATUS indicator lights.

REVIEWING CALL RECORDS

Each time you receive a call, the system saves a call record in mem-

ory that you can see while you are on the phone or review later.

To scroll through the call records, repeatedly press REVIEW6

Note: If no call information is stored, NO CALL appears when you

press REVIEW6

For each call you review, the display shows the name for about 4

seconds, then the name is replaced by the call date and time (for

about 4 seconds). The number display appears for about 5 seconds,

then the display returns to the date and time display (unless you

press REVIEW6
