Note
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. This service displays the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the | 7 |
telephone number of your caller (and name, if available). Once you pick up the external phone’s handset, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
■You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).
■Out of Area display means call originated outside your Caller ID service area.
■Private Call display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.
You can print a list of Caller ID information received by your machine. (See Printing Caller ID List on page
