phone number and name if available as th e
telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your
calls. You can respond quickly to calls you
missed, because Caller IDs are received and
stored in your machine memory.

To get the Caller ID Service, apply for the
Caller ID service at your local telephone
company, if available.
