displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers is
logged in the caller list from the most recent
call to the oldest.
R If 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.
R 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 ”.
Note:
R Even when there are unviewed missed
calls,  “Missed call ” disappears from the
standby display if the following operation is
performed by one of the units:
– A handset is replaced on the base unit or charger.
– Pressing  MOFF N on a handset.
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
phonebook, the stored name in the

Talking Caller ID
Handset / Base unit
This feature lets you know who is calling
without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:

– turn this feature on (page 37).
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.
R Name pronunciation may vary. This feature
may not pronounce all names correctly.
R 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.
– the base unit may not be able to announce the entire name.
R The announcement is heard at the same
level as the ringer volume (page 23, 28).
R If you turn on the answering system and set
the number of rings  “2 rings ” (page 
53), the unit does not announce the caller
information from the landline. If  “Toll
saver ” is selected and there is a new
message, the unit does not announce the
caller information from the landline.
R 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.

							Ringer IDYou can select the desired ringer tone to a
group that each phonebook entry is assigned

caller assigned to a group, the ringer tone you
selected for that group rings instead of the
called line’s ringer tone (page 19, 35, 37) after
caller information is displayed. If you select
“ Current ringer ” (default), the unit uses
the called line’s ringer tone when calls from
this group are received.

Caller ID Service          
						

							The next time someone calls from the same
area code, caller information is customized by
the unit 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 unit 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 38). The default setting is  “On ”.
