Using Caller ID service
Important:
R This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying caller
phone numbers), 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 phone number 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.
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
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 35),
disappears from the
display. When you receive another new call,
is displayed again.
Note:
R Even when there are unviewed missed
calls,
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 M
N.
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.
Call waiting and Caller ID
compatible
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your
handset displays the 2nd caller’s information
while talking. After you hear a call waiting
tone, the caller’s phone number will be
displayed.
You can answer the 2nd call, keeping the 1st
call on hold. Follow your service provider/
telephone company instructions using
MR/ECON. (Recall/flash function)
R If the phone number is stored in the
phonebook with its name, the caller’s name
will also be displayed.
R Please contact your service provider/
telephone company for details and
availability in your area.
For Caller ID Type II users
When you receive a 2nd call during a
conversation, you will hear a signal tone
following the call waiting tone and the
conversation will be interrupted or muted
for a short period of time. This is not a fault
of the product as these events are normal.
R The tones are generated by your service
provider/telephone company.
Category ringer tone
This feature can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringer tones for
different categories of callers. When adding an
entry to the phonebook, you can assign it to
the desired category (page 21). When a call is
received from a caller assigned to a category,
the ringer you selected for that category rings
after caller information is displayed.
If you select “Default Ringer”, the unit
uses the ringer tone you selected on page 26
