Caller ID

Information about caller ID with call waiting                         
This product has a caller ID function with call waiting 
feature which works with service from your telephone 
service provider.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and 
telephone number of the caller before answering the 
telephone, even while on another call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to 
use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider 
if:
You do not have any caller ID or call waiting services.
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting 
service.
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate 
services (you may need combined service).
This product can be used with regular caller ID service, 
or this product’s other features can be used without 
subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with 
call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services 
may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s 
number or the caller’s name and number. This product 
can provide information only if both you and the caller are 
in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone 
companies use compatible equipment. The time and date 
are sent by the telephone service provider along with the 
call information.

Caller ID 
Caller ID operation
How caller ID works                                                       
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your 
telephone service provider, information about each caller 
will start to be displayed between the first and second 
ring.
The time and date of the call, the caller’s name and 
telephone number are included on the screen if sent 
by the caller’s telephone service provider. The incoming 
line of the call also appears on screen (L2 in the above 
example). If two calls come in at the same time, the 
screen displays information about both calls:
In certain circumstances, there may be up to a 6-second 
delay before the screen displays both callers information.
Other messages may appear on screen. See Display 
screen messages on page 57 for more information.
Caller ID information will remain on the screen for about 
30 seconds after the telephone stops ringing or until the 
call is answered.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this telephone 
automatically resets the time and date each time new call 
information is received. You can set the time and date 
yourself if desired. (See Set the time and date on page 
22.)
NOTES:
Caller ID features work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.If caller ID information is received while you are programming the memory, the call information will be stored in call history without appearing on screen.
