About Caller Identification
This product is designed to store and display information about incoming
telephone calls. It must be used with Caller Identification service provided
by your local telephone company; there is a fee for this service, and it may
not be available in all areas. This product can provide information only if
both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller Identification service,
and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
When you use this product with Caller ID service, you can see who’s
calling before you answer the phone. And if you subscribe to Call Waiting
with Caller Identification, you can see who’s trying to reach you even
when you’re on another call. Your telephone company must provide Caller
ID with Call Waiting (Type II service) for this feature to work. (If you
subscribe to these two features separately, you may not receive Caller ID
with Call Waiting. Check with your local phone company.) The unit
keeps a record of the names and numbers of the last 50 calls, whether
you answer the phone or not.
When the first call is received, the unit sets the current time and date
automatically (you cannot set them), and resets them each time a new call
comes in. (The time and date line remain blank until the first call comes in.)
The unit automatically adjusts for daylight savings time. When not in use,
the unit displays the current date/time, number of new calls received since
the last review of memory, and number of reviewed calls in call history.
For each call that comes in, the screen displays the following information
between the first and second rings:
• Your caller’s name (15 letters are sent by your telephone company);
• The caller’s area code and telephone number (the area code is not
displayed if it is programmed as the Home Area Code);
• The time and date of the call; and
• The position of the call in memory.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will
not be in the call history.
NOTE: If the caller’s number is flashing on the screen, there is an error
in the transmission.

new call, and displays the name/number of the call waiting call on the
bottom two lines.

Message Waiting & NEW CALL Light
This light stays on when you have received call information but have not
yet reviewed it. If you subscribe to a voice mail service, this light flashes
if you have unretrieved messages waiting.
Call History
This product assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 50. The
most recent call will have the highest number (for example, if 10 calls
have been received, call number 10 is the most recent, and call number
1 is the oldest). When the memory is full (50 calls), the oldest call
information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.
Reviewing Call History
The screen displays the call information for about 30 seconds after it has
been received.
1 To review earlier calls, press -.
2 To advance through call history from an earlier call, press +. The
screen displays END OF LIST to indicate you have reviewed all the
calls in the call history. When you reach the end of the call history,
it begins again.
Removing Call Records from History
When the unit is idle, press r to erase a displayed call record. The
screen displays Call Removed. To remove all calls from call history, press
r when no call is displayed. The screen displays REMOVE All?.
Press r again.
NOTE: Once a call is removed from call history, it cannot be retrieved.

Operation
Display Dial
As you review calls in history, you can dial a displayed phone number.
(This feature works only with touch tone service on a phone connected
to the unit.) Lift the handset of the phone (the screen displays the first
number in the call history), then press and release D to call that
number, or press + or - to scroll to another number in the call history.
After you press D, the screen shows the number being called.
If the screen displays Call ID Error, an error is preventing use of the
Display Dial feature.
If a call is coming from your Home Area Code (the one you programmed
during installation), then the screen will display only the seven digits of the
number you’re calling (without an area code). When you use Display Dial,
the unit will dial the seven displayed digits.
You can also program up to four other Local Area Codes. These must be area
codes that do not require dialing a “1” before them. After programming, if you
receive a call from one of these area codes, the screen displays the 10 digits
(three digits of area code plus seven digits of phone number). When y ou use
Display Dial, the unit dials 10 digits, without inserting a “1” before the area code.
If you receive a call from an area code not programmed in the unit, you will
see 10 digits on the screen (the area code and the phone number). The unit
will automatically dial “1” before the number when you use Display Dial.
