Caller ID Features Understanding the Caller ID service Caller ID allows the caller's phone number to be shown on the display before the call is answered. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to the Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company. To use this feature, be sure to enter your home area code (see page 17). When you receive a call The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in the following example. If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service, the caller's name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters). Caller's name Caller's phone number The date and time received SMITH JOHN 1-201-123-4567 The line which received the Caller ID data When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the "TALK" display. Notes • The caller's phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases: - "OUT OF AREA": when the call is made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls). - "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. Tips • Even if the ringer of the handset is set to "RINGER OFF", you can receive Caller ID data. • If a call comes in on both line 1 and 2 simultaneously, the display will show the data on line 1 and 2 alternately. About the memory match function If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone Directory (see page 32), the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring. Note The memory match function does not work with "OUT OF AREA" or "PRIVATE" 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.
