Using Caller ID service
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use 
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to 
your telephone service provider’s Caller ID 
service.
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 different 
callers is logged in the caller list, allowing 
you to return missed calls. Caller 
information is stored 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.
Private name display
When caller information is received and it 
matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name is displayed 
and logged in the caller list.
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 24).
Note:
LPlease contact your telephone service 
provider for details and availability of this 
service in your area.
Talking Caller ID Y
This feature lets you know who is calling 
without looking at the display. When a call 
comes in, the handset announces the 
caller’s name displayed on the handset 
following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to 
your telephone service provider’s Caller ID 
service.
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 caller’s 
name is too long, the handset may not 
be able to display or announce the entire 
name.
LUsually the handset 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 57), 
the handset does not announce the 
caller’s name. If “Toll saver” is 
selected and there is a new message, 
the handset does not announce the 
caller’s name.
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.
LThis feature can be turned on or off 
(page 45).

Ringer ID Y^
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringers for 
different callers stored in the phonebook 
(page 26, 29). You can assign a different 
ringer to each phonebook item. When a 
call is received from a caller stored in the 
phonebook, the ringer is used after Caller 
ID information is displayed.
Light-up ID Y
This feature can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringer indicator 
colors for different callers stored in the 
handset phonebook (page 26). 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 indicator color is 
used after Caller ID information is 
displayed.
Caller list
Caller information for the last 50 different 
callers is logged in the caller list. You can 
use this list to return missed calls.
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 display. This 
lets you know if you should view the caller 
list to see who called while you were out.

Caller ID number auto edit 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 
45). The default setting is “On”.
