received
Caller ID Service
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 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’ names and numbers from the Caller List into the directory.
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting services, when a
second call is received while talking, the new caller’s name and phone
number will be displayed (p. 44).
