							Caller ID Service
For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help37
Using Caller ID service
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use 
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to 
Caller ID service of your telephone service 
provider.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the 
calling party’s name and telephone 
number are displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers is 
logged in the caller list by the most recent 
call to the oldest.
LGenerally caller information is displayed 
from the 2nd ring.
LIf the unit cannot receive caller 
information, the following is 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.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the 
call as a missed call. “Missed call” is 
displayed on the handset display. This lets 
you know if you should view the caller list 
to see who called while you were out.
You can view the number of missed calls 
by pressing {CID} (left soft key).Note:
LIf you press {CID}, then press {OFF} 
without viewing all missed calls in the 
caller list, “Missed call” disappears 
from the display. When you receive 
another new call, it is displayed again.
Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call 
Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd 
caller’s information is displayed after you 
hear a Call Waiting tone (page 29). Please 
contact your telephone service provider for 
details and availability of this service in 
your area.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling 
without looking at the display. When a call 
comes in, the handset and base unit 
announce the caller’s name displayed on 
the handset following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to 
Caller ID service of your telephone service 
provider.
LName pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
LCaller ID supports names of up to 15 
letters. If the caller’s name has more 
than 15 letters, the name is not 
displayed or announced correctly.
LUsually the unit announces the caller’s 
name after the 2nd ring. If you turn on 
the answering system and set the ring 
count to “2 rings” (page 59), the unit 
does not announce the caller’s name. If 
“Toll saver” is selected and there is a 
new message, the unit does not 
announce the caller’s name.

							Caller ID Service
38For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
LWhen you receive a call while on the 
phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not 
announced even if you subscribe to both 
Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID 
services.
LThe announcement is heard at the same 
level as the ringer volume (page 28, 47).
LThis feature can be turned on or off 
(page 47).
Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringers for 
different callers stored in the phonebook 
(page 31). You can assign a different 
ringer to each phonebook item. When a 
call is received from a caller stored in the 
phonebook, the assigned ringer rings after 
Caller ID information is displayed.
Light-up ID
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringer indicator 
colors for different callers stored in the 
handset phonebook (page 31). You can 
assign a different indicator color to each 
handset phonebook item. When a call is 
received from a caller stored in the 
handset phonebook, the assigned 
indicator color flashes after Caller ID 
information is displayed.
Picture ID (Color display models 
only)
Important:
LOnly KX-TG5776, KX-TG5777, KX-
TG5779, and KX-TGA571 support this 
feature.
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different pictures for 
different callers stored in the handset 
phonebook (page 31). You can assign a 
different picture to each phonebook item. 
When a call is received from a caller stored 
in the phonebook, the assigned picture is 
displayed after Caller ID information is 
displayed.
Note:
LYou can also download original images 
from your computer. Refer to the help 
section of the GIGARANGE USB Utility 
for details.

feature
Once you call back an edited number, the 
unit will remember the Area Code and 
Format of the Edited Number. Next time 
when someone calls from the same Area 
Code, caller information will be customized 
by the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the 
Caller ID number will be displayed in the 
same Format as the Edited Number.
– After the call is ended, the telephone 
number of the caller, when reviewed 
from the Caller list, will be displayed in 
the same Format as the Edited Number.
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, then call that number. 
After that, phone numbers from that 
caller’s area code are edited automatically. 
This feature can be turned on or off (page 
46).
Note:
LPhone numbers from the 4 most recently 
edited area codes are automatically 
edited.
LIf you move to another area, you can 
turn this feature off to erase previously 
edited area codes. To use this feature  Example:
