Caller ID Features

Understanding the Caller ID service

Caller ID allows the caller's phone number to be shown on the display
before the call is answered. In order to use this feature, you must first
subscribe to the Caller ID service. The name of this service may vary
depending on your telephone company.
To use this feature, be sure to enter your home area code (see page 13).

When you receive a call

The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as
shown in the following example.
If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service, the caller's
name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).
Caller's name
Caller's phone number
The date and time received
When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the
"TALK" display.
Notes
• The caller's phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases:
- "OUT OF AREA": when the call is made through a telephone company which
does not offer Caller ID service (including international calls).
- "PRIVATE": when the call is "blocked." For privacy reasons, many states allow
callers the option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on
the other party's Caller ID display.
• If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone number
may not match the number you use to call the extension.
Tip
Even if the ringer of the handset is set to "RINGER OFF", you can receive
Caller ID data.
About the memory match function
If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored in the Phone
Directory (see page 23), the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from
the second ring.
Note
The memory match function does not work with "OUT OF AREA" or "PRIVATE"
calls; and it may not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines
because the number does not always match the one you stored in this phone.
