							Caller ID Service
For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/consumersupport33
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 and 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 handset will use 
the ringer tone and the ringer indicator 
color you assigned to the caller. (Ringer 
ID and light-up ID)
LWhile listening to a message recorded 
by the answering system, using the 
handset, you can call back the caller 
without having to dial the phone number 
(page 61).
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 24).
Note:
LPlease contact your telephone company 
for details and availability of this service 
in your area.
Talking Caller ID
This feature allows you to know who is 
calling without looking at the display. When 
a call comes in, the handset and base unit 
will announce the caller’s name displayed 
on the handset following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to 
your telephone company’s Caller ID 
service.
LIf the unit does not receive Caller ID 
information, the unit will announce “Call 
from out of area”, “Call from private 
caller”, or “Call from long distance”. 
LIf a call is received from an area where 
name display service is not available, 
“Number available” will be announced.
LName pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
LThe unit will announce each letter of 
abbreviations, such as “Co.” and “Inc.”.
LCaller ID supports names of up to 15 
letters. If the caller’s name has more 
than 15 letters, the name will not be 
displayed or announced correctly.
LIf you subscribe to a distinctive ring 
service (such as IDENTA-RING), your 
unit may mute one or more of the rings in 
order to announce the name of the 
caller.
LIf the ringer volumes of the handset and 
base unit are turned off, caller names 
will not be announced. The 
announcement is heard at the ringer 
volume (page 27, 48). Example:BROWN,NANCY
1-555-666-7777

							Caller ID Service
34For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/consumersupport
LWhen you receive a call while on the 
phone, the 2nd caller’s name will not be 
announced even if you subscribe to both 
Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID 
services.
LIf this feature is turned off, caller names 
will not be announced (page 52, 55).
LUsually the unit will announce the 
caller’s name after the 2nd ring. If you 
turn on the answering system, and set 
the ring count to “2” (page 64), the unit 
will not announce the caller’s name. If 
“Toll saver” is selected, and there is 
a new message, the unit will not 
announce the caller’s name.
LIf an outside call is received while on an 
intercom call between the handset and 
base unit, the other handsets will ring, 
but the caller’s name will not be 
announced.
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” (default), the unit will use 
the ringer tone you set on page 48 when a 
call is received from that caller.
1Press {C} (right soft key).
2Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to display 
the desired item.
3Press {OPTION}.

72. If you erase a song assigned to a 
caller, the Ringer ID assignment will be 
canceled, and the handset ringer tone 
(page 48) will be used instead of that 
song.
Light-up ID
You can assign a different ringer indicator 
color to each caller in the phonebook.
Select “Color1” (amber), “Color2” 
(blue), “Color3” (green), or 
“Multicolor”.
If you select “No Light-upID” (default), 
the unit will use the ringer color you set on 
page 50 when a call is received from that 
caller.

2Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to display 
the desired item.

Caller list
Caller information for the last 50 different 
callers will be logged in the caller list. You 
can use this list to return missed calls.
LCaller information includes caller names 
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.
LIf there are no items in the caller list, 
{CID} will not be displayed.

LEach handset has its own caller list. If 
you viewed the caller list or answered a 
call on one handset, the same 
information in the other handsets will be 
displayed as “missed calls”.
Displayed symbols
LIf the same caller calls more than once, it 
will be displayed with the number (“×2” 
to “×9”). Only the date and time of the

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number (see 
“Editing a caller’s phone number before 
calling back” on page 35), 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” on 
page 35), 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 
52). The default setting is ON.
Note:
LThe handset can remember up to 4 area 
codes to be edited. Phone numbers from 
the 4 most recently edited area codes 
will be automatically edited.
LThis feature will not be activated until 
edited numbers are called back.
LIf you move to another area, you can 
turn this feature off to erase previously 
edited area codes. To use this feature 
again, turn it on and reprogram the area 
codes you want to edit once again.
Storing caller information into 
the phonebook
Items in the caller list can be stored into 
each handset’s phonebook.
1Press {CID} (left soft key).
2Press {V} or {^} repeatedly to display 
the desired item.
LTo edit the number, press {EDIT} 
repeatedly until the number is shown 
in the desired format (see “Editing a 
caller’s phone number before calling 
back” on page 35, step 3).
3Press {SAVE}.
LIf there is no name information for the 
caller, “Enter name” will be 
displayed. 
1Enter the name if necessary (see 
page 28, step 3). 
2Press {NEXT}, then press {SAVE}.
LTo continue storing other items, 
repeat from step 2.
4Press {OFF}.
Note:
LIf the caller information does not include 
a phone number, you cannot store it in 
the phonebook.
Erasing caller information
Erasing a selected item
