recorded in the Caller List.

When a call comes in, the unit will ring and Caller ID 
information will be received. The handset display will 
show the caller’s information, then the handset and base

• The handset and base unit announce the caller’s name repeatedly until the call is 
answered.
• If the unit does not receive Caller ID information, one of the following will be 
displayed:
• Depending on the radio communications with the base unit, the handset may not 
display Caller ID information immediately after the first ring.
• If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID, you cannot 
access Caller ID service.
• 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 with Caller ID services (CWID), 
when a second call is received while talking, a call waiting tone will be heard and 
the second caller’s information will be displayed on the handset in use (p. 57).
Contact your telephone company for details about availability in your area, and to 
verify that CWID is activated on your telephone line.
