3550-US-5.0 CALLER ID RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS E) CALLER ID What is Caller ID? Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller's phone number (or name in certain states) as the 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's memory. NOTICE To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company. The type of service varies from state to state and is determined by your telephone company. Your particular service may display only the caller's phone number or the caller's number and/or name. Advantages of Caller ID For Business All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification. At Home Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls. How Does Caller ID Work? The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings As your telephone rings, the Display shows you the caller's phone number (or caller's name in certain states). You will know who is calling before you pick up the handset or before your machine automatically receives the call. Once you pick up the handset, the caller's ID disappears. If both the caller's phone number and name are received, only the name will appear on the Display. You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name. Helpful Hints • If OUT OF AREA appears on the Display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area. • If PRIVATE CALL appears on the Display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. • IfnocallerIDwastransmittedtoyourfaxmachine,CALLPICKUPwillremain on the display. NOTE: Please set the number of rings to more than 02 to use Caller ID. If you set the number of rings to 01, you can not receive the Caller ID. 7-19
