About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. Some names and numbers may not show because they are not available or blocked by the caller. The caller ID information shows after the first or second ring.

Information about caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

•You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).

•You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

•You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.

Call log

If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.

•The call log stores up to 30 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone number has more that 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more than

15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in the call log.

•You can review, redial and copy an entry into the directory.

•Entries appear in reverse chronological order.

•When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.

•XX missed call(s) displays when there are new call log entries that have not been reviewed.

•Call log empty displays when there are no records in the call log.

•Only one handset can review the call log at a time (for multi-handset models only). If a handset tries to enter the call log while another handset is already in it, Not available displays.

• For call log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, in order to view the entire number, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 20).
