Using Caller ID service
Important:
R This 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 information is 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 and “Missed call” is displayed.
This lets you know if you should view the
caller list to see who called while you were
away.
Even if only one missed call in the caller list is
viewed (page 34), “Missed call”
disappears from the display. When you
receive another new call, “Missed call” is
displayed again.
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 registered
handsets:
– Being replaced on the base unit or
charger.
– Pressing MOFFN.
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 23).
When caller information is received, the
handsets 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 unit may not be able
to display or announce the entire name.
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.
