company. If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, the calling party’s
information will be shown on the handset and base unit after the first ring.
The handset and base unit can record information of up to 50 different
callers for both lines combined, including the time and date received, the
called line, 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’ 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 on the same line while talking, the new caller’s
name and phone number will be displayed (p. 76).

the called line after the first ring.
•After you answer the call, the display will show the length of the call.
•If both lines receive calls at the same time, each caller’s information will be
displayed alternately.
•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”.
•If your unit is connected to a PBX which does not support Caller ID services, you
cannot access those services.
•The name display service may not be available in some areas. For further
information, please contact your telephone company.
•If the handset has lost communication with the base unit when a call is received,
the caller information will not be recorded in the Caller List.
