							Caller ID Service
22
This unit is compatible with a Caller ID service offered by your telephone
company. If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, the calling party’s
information will be displayed after the first ring.
The unit can record information of up to 50 different callers, including the
time and date received and the number of times called, in the Caller List.
The Caller List information is sorted by the most recent to the oldest call.
When the 51st call is received, the first call is deleted.
Using the list, you can automatically call back a caller. You can store the
callers’ numbers from the Caller List into the directory.
If you subscribe to a Call Waiting Caller ID Feature, when a second call is
received while talking, the new caller’s name and phone number will be
displayed (p. 44).
How caller information is displayed when a call is
received
≥Caller information cannot be displayed in the following cases:
≥—If the caller dialed from an area which does not provide a Caller ID service,
the display will show “Out of area”.
≥—If the caller has requested not to display his/her information, the display will
show “Private caller”.
The CALLER ID indicator
light will flash quickly when 
a call is being received.
The display shows the caller’s name and
number after the first ring.
After you answer the call, the display will
show the length of the call and the
battery strength.
