Caller ID If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller appears after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID log. The caller ID log stores up to 30 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone 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 handsets. Any deletions made on one handset are reflected on all other handsets. • 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. The time and date are sent by your telephone service provider along with the call information. Review a caller ID log entry 1. Press CID when the phone is not in use. 2.

If another device tries to enter the caller ID log, it shows Not available at this time. Memory match When the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in your phonebook, the screen displays the stored name of the phonebook entry. For example, if Linda Jones calls, her name appears as Linda if this is how you entered it into your phonebook. • The number shown in the caller ID log is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone number does not match a number in your phonebook, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. Missed call indicator When there are calls that have not been reviewed in the caller ID log, the corresponding line message, L1 > X Missed or L2 > X Missed, shows on screen. Each time you review a caller ID log entry marked NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one. When you have reviewed all the missed calls, the missed call indicator no longer displays. If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, press and hold OFF on the idle handset or CANCEL on the telephone base to erase the missed call indicator. All the entries are then considered old. 24
