information will be received. Once caller ID information is 
received, the handset display shows the caller’s 
information, then the handset and base unit will 
announce the displayed name (ex. “ 
Call from ROBINSON, 
TINA 
”) following every ring ( 
Talking Caller ID feature 
). 
• After you answer the call, the display will show the length of the call.
• If the unit does not receive caller ID information, one of the following will be 
displayed:
• If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot 
access Caller ID service.
• The name display service may not be available in some areas. For further 
information, please contact your telephone company.
• If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting, when talking on the phone as 
another call comes in, the second caller’s name and phone number will be 
displayed (p. 39).

Caller ID Service 
Using the Caller List 
The unit can record information up to 30 different callers and store this information 
in the Caller List. Caller information is sorted by the most recent call to the oldest. 
When the 31 
st
 
 call is received, the information from the 1 
st
 
 call is deleted.
The unit will also tell you how many calls you missed while you were out or 
unavailable to answer the phone. 
Using the Talking Caller ID feature: 
• To use this feature, you need to subscribe to Caller ID service. For further 
information, please contact your telephone company.
• If a caller dialed from an area which does not provide a name display service, 
the unit will announce “ 
Call from out of area 
”, “ 
Call from private caller 
”, “ 
Call from 
long distance 
” or “ 
Number available 
”.
• If the ringer volume of the handset and the base unit is OFF, callers’ names will 
not be announced. Announcement volume depends on the handset or base 
unit ringer setting (p. 16).
• If the feature is OFF, the unit will not announce callers’ names (p. 14).
• A second caller’s name will not be announced while talking with the first caller 
(For Call Waiting Service Users, p. 39).
• Name pronunciation may vary. Name pronunciation quality is based on names 
most commonly used in the United States.
• The unit will announce each letter of abbreviations, such as Co., Inc., etc.
• Caller ID service supports names of up to 15 letters. If the caller’s name has 
more than 15 letters, the name will not be announced correctly.
• If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Service (IDENTA-RING for example) from 
your telephone company with 2 or 3 consecutive rings, your unit may mute one 
or more of the rings in order to announce the name of the caller.
The display will show the number of calls 
you missed.
• After viewing the missed call entries, 
“ 
missed calls 
” will disappear from the 
display.
• When your voice mail box has received 
message(s); 
— When the handset is off the base unit, 
“ 
Voice Mail 
” will be displayed in place 
of missed calls display.
— When the handset is on the base unit, 
“ 
Voice Mail 
” will be also displayed on 
the first line. 
Press  
Rcvd calls 
 to review other calls 
logged in the Caller List.

Using the Caller List 
Basic Operation
 
Caller ID Number Auto Edit Feature  
There are 3 patterns of phone number ( ,   and  , p. 26). This feature allows 
your phone to automatically edit an in-coming Caller ID number into a pattern of 
your choice, and display the Caller ID number with that pattern.
After this feature is activated, Caller ID numbers coming from specific area codes 
(201, for example), from which the Caller ID numbers have been chosen to follow 
the desired pattern (7-digit pattern, for example), will be automatically edited from 
other patterns (11-digit pattern, for example) into the same pattern you have 
previously selected (which is 7-digit pattern, in this example).
Up to 4 area codes can be designated for this feature for pattern  ,   and  
  
(p. 26).
To activate this feature, you must (1) set this feature to ON, and (2) make an out-
going call from Caller List (p. 25) with a number which has one of the 3 patterns that 
you have edited with specific area codes, and that you prefer to be followed by 
future Caller ID numbers, so that in the future all the Caller ID numbers coming from 
the same area code will be displayed in the same pattern.
The Caller ID number Auto Edit feature is preset at the factory to ON. 
• If a call does not go through, the phone number you dialed may have an incorrect 
pattern. Please edit the phone number with another pattern (p. 26).
For example, if you move to another area, you may need to turn this feature OFF to 
erase previously edited area codes. Then, if still necessary, you may activate this 
feature again.   
• When the feature is set to OFF, the unit will still be able to display Caller ID, but the 
in-coming Caller ID number will not be edited by a pattern or area codes.
