Using Caller ID service
Important:
LThis unit is Caller ID compatible. To 
use Caller ID features, you must 
subscribe to Caller ID service. Contact 
your service provider/telephone 
company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, 
the 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 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 
made a long distance call.
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX 
system, caller information may not be 
received properly. Contact your PBX 
supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats 
the call 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.
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 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.
LName pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
LCaller 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.
LThe announcement is heard at the 
same level as the ringer volume (page 
18, 26).
LIf you turn on the answering system 
and set the number of rings “2” (page 
38), 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.
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.
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.

Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringers for 
different callers stored in the phonebook. 
You can assign a different ringer to each 
phonebook entry. When a call is 
received from a caller stored in the 
phonebook, the assigned ringer rings 
after the caller information is displayed.
If you select “No Ringer ID” (default), 
the handset uses the ringer tone you 
selected on page 26 when a call is 
received from that caller.

– After the call is ended, the phone 
number of the caller, when reviewed 
from the Caller list, is 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 25).
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 
again, turn it on and reprogram the 
area codes you want to edit once 
again.

Voice mail service
Voice mail is an automatic answering 
service offered by your service 
provider/telephone company. After you 
subscribe to this service, your service 
provider/telephone company’s voice 
mail system answers calls for you when 
you are unavailable to answer the phone 
or when your line is busy. Messages are 
recorded by your service 
provider/telephone company, not your 
telephone. Please contact your service 
provider/telephone company for details 
of this service.
Important:
LTo use the voice mail service provided 
by your service provider/telephone 
company rather than the unit’s 
answering system, turn off the 
answering system (page 34). For 
details, see page 39.
Storing the voice mail (VM) 
access number
In order to listen to your voice mail 
messages, you must dial your service 
provider/telephone company’s voice 
mail access number. Once you have 
stored your voice mail access number, 
you can dial it automatically (page 41).

max.). i {Save} i {OFF}
Note:
LWhen storing your voice mail access 
number and your mailbox password,

Voice mail (VM) tone detection
Your service provider/telephone 
company sends special signals 
(sometimes called “voice mail tones” or 
“stutter tones”) to the unit to let you know 
you have new voice mail messages. If 
you hear a series of dial tones followed 
by a continuous dial tone after you press 
{C}, you have new voice mail 
messages. Minutes after you hang up a 
call or after the phone stops ringing, your 
unit checks the phone line to see if new 
voice mail messages have been 
recorded.
Turn this feature off when:
– You do not subscribe to voice mail 
service.
– Your service provider/telephone 
company does not send voice mail 
tones.
– Your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure which setting is 
required, contact your service 
provider/telephone company.
