RECEIVING CID RECORDS

When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.

STORING CID RECORDS (IN CALLER ID MEMORY)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.

You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review show as NEW in the display.
