Caller ID If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller will appear after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller's information appear on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID log. The caller ID log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and saved in the caller ID log. Entries appear in reverse chronological order. When the caller ID log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information. Caller ID log entries are shared by all system devices. Any modifications made on one device apply to all. NOTES • Only one system device can review the caller ID log at a time. If a system device tries to enter the caller ID log while another system device is already in it, its screen displays Not available. • This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.
