							Caller ID Service
24For assistance, please call 1-800-211-PANA (7262).
Using Caller ID service
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use 
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to 
your telephone company’s Caller ID 
service.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the 
calling party’s name or telephone number 
will be displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 different 
callers will be logged in the caller list, 
allowing you to return missed calls. Caller 
information is stored by the most recent 
call to the oldest. 
LWhen Caller ID information is received 
and it matches a phone number stored 
in the phonebook:
– The stored name will be displayed and 
logged in the caller list. (Personalized 
name display)
– The handset will use the ringer tone 
and the ringer indicator color you 
assigned to the caller. (Ringer ID and 
light-up ID)
LIf the unit cannot receive caller 
information, the following will be 
displayed:
“Out of area”: The caller dialed from 
an area which does not provide Caller ID 
service.
“Private caller”: The caller 
requested not to send caller information.
“Long distance”: The caller called 
you long distance.
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX system, 
caller information may not be received 
properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call 
Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd 
caller’s information will be displayed after 
you hear a Call Waiting tone (page 20).
Note:
LPlease contact your telephone company 
for details and availability of this service 
in your area.
Ringer ID and light-up ID
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringers and ringer 
indicator colors for different callers stored 
in the phonebook. You can assign a 
different ringer and indicator color to each 
phonebook item. When a call is received 
from a caller stored in the phonebook, the 
ringer and indicator color are used after 
Caller ID information is displayed.
LUsually the ringer and indicator color will 
be changed from the 2nd ring.
Ringer ID
You can assign a different ringer tone to 
each caller in the phonebook. If you select 
“No Ringer ID”, the unit will use the 
ringer tone you set on page 31 when a call 
is received from that caller. The default 
setting is “No Ringer ID”.
1Press {Phonebook}, then press 
{Search}.
2Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to display 
the desired item.
3Press {Option}.

and phone numbers, the date and time 
of calls, and the number of times the 
caller called.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the 
call as a missed call. The number of 
missed calls is shown on the handset 
display. This lets you know if you should 
view the caller list to see who called while 
you were out.

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number (see 
“Editing a caller’s phone number before 
calling back”), the unit can automatically 
edit other incoming phone numbers each 
time you receive a call.
For example, you can use this feature to 
set the unit to ignore the area code of 
callers in your area code, so that you can 
call these local numbers using caller 
information without dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an 
item in the caller list (see “Editing a caller’s 
phone number before calling back”), then 
call that number. After that, calls from that 
caller’s area code will be edited 
automatically. 
This feature can be turned on or off (page 
32). The default setting is ON.Example:
Example:
Example:
321-5555
