							Caller ID Service
33For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
Using Caller ID service
Important:
LThis unit is Caller ID compatible. To 
use Caller ID features, you must 
subscribe to a Caller ID service. 
Contact your service provider/
telephone company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, 
the caller’s name and phone number are 
displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers 
is logged in the caller list from the most 
recent call to the oldest.
LIf the unit cannot receive caller 
information, the following is displayed:
– “Out of area ”: The caller dials 
from an area which does not 
provide a Caller ID service.
– “Private caller ”: The caller 
requests not to send caller 
information.
– “Long distance ”: The caller 
makes a long distance call.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX 
system, caller information may not be 
properly received. Contact your PBX 
supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it 
as a missed call. The display shows 
“Missed call ”. This lets you know if 
you should view the caller list to see who 
called while you were away.
Note:
L Even when there are unviewed 
missed calls, “Missed call ” 
disappears from the standby display if 
the following operation is performed 
by one of the registered handsets: – Being replaced on the base unit or 
charger.
– Pressing  {OFF} .
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and 
it matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is displayed and logged in 
the caller list.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling 
without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:
– subscribe to a Caller ID service of 
your service provider/telephone 
company.
– turn this feature on (page 26).
When caller information is received, the 
handsets and base unit announce the 
caller’s name or phone number received 
from your service provider/telephone 
company following every ring.
The unit announces in English only.
L Name pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
L Caller ID service has a limit of how 
many characters can be displayed. If 
the caller’s name is too long, the 
handset may not be able to display or 
announce the entire name.
L The announcement is heard at the 
same level as the ringer volume (page 
17, 25).
L If you turn on the answering system 
and set the number of rings  “2 
rings” (page 41), the unit does not 
announce the caller information. If

“Toll saver ” is selected and there 
is a new message, the unit does not 
announce the caller information.
L When 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.
Phonebook name announcement
When caller information is received and 
it matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is announced.
Group ringer tone for 
phonebook
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringer tones for 
different groups of callers. When adding 
an entry to the phonebook, you can 
assign it to the desired group (page 20). 
When a call is received from a caller 
assigned to a group, the ringer you 
selected for that group rings after caller 
information is displayed. If you select 
“Current ringer ” (default), the unit 
uses the ringer tone you selected on 
page 25 when calls from this group are 
received.

Caller ID number auto edit 
feature
Once you call back an edited number, 
the handset which was used to call back 
remembers the area code and format of 
the edited number. The next time 
someone calls from the same area code, 
caller information is customized by the 
handset as follows:
– When the call is being received, the  Caller ID number is displayed in the 
same format as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s  phone number is displayed in the 
same format as the edited number, 
when reviewed from the caller list.
For example, you can use this feature to 
set the handset to ignore the area code 
of callers in your area, so that you can 
call these local numbers using caller 
information without dialing the area 
code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an 
entry 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 set for each handset 
(page 26). The default setting is  “On”. Note:
L
Phone numbers from the 4 most 
recently edited area codes are 
automatically edited.
L If 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.
