Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display

before you answer the call. In order to use this feature, you must first

subscribe to Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary

depending on your telephone company.

To use this feature, be sure to enter the area code (see page 17).

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display as shown in the following

example.

If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service or if the

phone number stored in the Phone Directory matches with the Caller

ID data phone number, the caller’s name also appears on the display

(up to 15 letters).

The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the Phone

Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in

the Phone Directory.

When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the

“TALK” or “SPEAKERPHONE” display.

Notes

•

The caller’s phone number and/or name will not appear in the following

cases:

—“UNKNOWN NUMBER/NAME/CALLER” (out of area) : when the call is

made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service

(including international calls).

—“BLOCKED NUMBER/NAME/CALL” (private) : when the call is

“blocked”. For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the option to

prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other

party’s Caller ID display.

•

If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone

number may not match the number you use to call the extension.

About the memory match function

The name stored in the Phone Directory will appear on the display and

the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring if

you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone

Directory on the base phone or the cordless handset (see page 43).

Note

The memory match function does not work with “UNKNOWN NUMBER/

NAME/CALLER” or “BLOCKED NUMBER/NAME/CALL” calls; and it may

not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines because the

number does not always match the one you stored in this phone.
