Caller ID/Call Waiting ID
NOTE: Caller ID and call waiting ID are subscription services, provided by your regional phone company. You must subscribe to these services in order to benefit from the caller ID features of your 2151. Contact your regional phone service provider for details.
Receiving and Storing Calls
As new caller ID/call waiting ID records are received, NEW followed by the number of new caller ID records received will be displayed on the handset.
Your 2151 will store the most current 60 caller ID and call waiting ID records. When caller ID information comes in with the inbound ring, it is displayed until the call is answered. When call waiting ID information comes in, it
is displayed for approximately 15 seconds.
About Caller ID
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 60. The most recent call will have the highest number. When the memory is full, the oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information. Therefore, you do not have to delete caller ID records manually.
For each call that comes in, the screen displays the following information between the first and second rings:
•The caller’s name (15 letters are sent by your telephone company);
•The caller’s area code and telephone number;
•The time and date of the call. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be in the call history.
NOTE: Press OFF at any time to exit caller ID review mode.
