CALLER ID OPERATION (HANDSET ONLY)

If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your phone company, the phone compa- ny sends information about the call, as well as the time and date, between the first and second rings of every call you receive. Although the Caller ID memory is on the handset, it records the call you receive on the speakerphone also.

The TAD-729 displays this information when it receives a call, and it stores up to 50 Caller ID records for later review. It also shows if caller information is un- available or if the name and number were blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messages”).

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 incoming call, press FLASH. To resume the previous phone conversation, press FLASH again.

If the TAD-729’s Caller ID memory be- comes full, any new call replaces the oldest call’s record.

REVIEWING CALLER ID RECORDS

To review the Caller ID records, lift the handset and press CALL ID. The number of new Caller ID records, if any, and the total number of records appears.

Note: If the handset is faceup on the base, it shows the number of Caller ID records, so you can see if you have new records to review.

Repeatedly press to scroll through the Caller ID records from the newest to the oldest, or to scroll back through the records. To scroll quickly through the records, hold down or .

When you scroll past the last record, End appears. When you scroll past the first record, the record totals appear.

The top line of each record shows the date, time and the number of calls from that number. The second line shows the caller’s name, and the third line shows the caller’s phone number.
