If you subscribe to both Call Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also shows you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you're on the line. The date and time received Caller's name Caller's Phone Number 5/11 12:30PM Jane Smith 214-555-1234 Note: If you answer a call before the Caller ID record is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID record will not appear. The phone stores the Caller ID information for up to thirty incoming calls - even unanswered calls. If the phone receives more Caller ID records than it can store, the oldest record in the list is automatically deleted. For information on storing Caller ID records in the phonebook, see section 6-6. 5-1. Reviewing the Caller ID Record List You can review the Caller ID list when the handset is in standby or during a call. 1) Press [cid/menu]. The summary screen displays the total number of CID records along with the number of new CID records (that is, calls that you haven't reviewed yet). Caller ID New :01 2) Use [ ] to scroll through the records from the latest to the earliest, or use [ / ] to scroll through the records from the earliest to the Total:17 latest. 3) Press [cid/menu] to exit the Caller ID list. For new Caller ID records, the phone keeps a count of the number of calls received from the same caller (instead of saving the information multiple 12/30 11:59PM 01 times). The Caller ID record shows the time and date of the most recent call Jane Smith from that number, and the number of calls appears next to the received time. The phone only maintains this count for new or "unviewed" records: 214-555-1234 once you review that record, the number is cleared. 5-2. Making a Call from the Caller ID List 1) With the phone in standby, press [cid/menu]. 2) Use [ / ] or [ ] to find the Caller ID record you want to call. 3) If you need to add or delete a"1"from the displayed phone number, press [1]. What's this "add or delete a 1" about? • Any phone number in the Caller ID records might (or might not!) have a"1"at the front, depending on how different phone companies send the Caller ID information. • The phone dials the number exactly as it appears in the Caller ID record. • If the phone number is a long distance or toll call, but the Caller ID record does not have a"1"in front of the number, press [1] to add it. • If the phone number is a local or non-toll call, but the Caller ID record has a"1"in front of the number, press [1] to delete it. 4) Press [TALK/flash] or [ ] to dial the number. Note: You can also press [TALK/flash] or [ ] before you access the Caller ID list. When you come to the phone number you want to dial, press [select/channel]. 5-3. Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten If you can make a local call by dialing only seven digits instead of ten, you can tell the phone to hide your local area code in the Caller ID list; any calls from outside your area code will show all ten digits. Entering your area code 1) With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu]. 2) Press [ ] to move the pointer to select AREA CODE. If an area code was already stored, the handset will display it. 3) Press [select/channel] to edit the area code.
