About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone service provider if:
•You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service)
•You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
•You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
About the Calls Log
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 50 at the handset. The most recent call will have the lowest number. When the memory is full, the oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information. See CALLER ID OPERATION, beginning on page 43, for more details.
If you answer a call before call information appears on the screen, it will not appear in the calls log.
About Adding Handsets
This product is compatible with the AT&T 5800 Expansion Handset. You may add up to five additional 5800 units (purchased separately) to this phone. Follow the instructions provided with the additional handset(s) for installation and registration.
NOTE: Although you can register up to six handsets, only four can be
used at one time.

If you subscribe to Caller ID service with your local phone service provider, this phone stores all incoming calls (up to 50 at the handset) with valid Caller ID information in the calls log. Name, number, time and date information can all be stored, if they are sent with the call. Calls are automatically stored in the order they are received, with call “1” stored as the most recent call. The calls log number appears next to the date on the screen display.
NOTE: The number of new calls displayed on each handset may not be the same. For example, if you answer a call on Handset 2, it will not consider that call information as new, but other handsets will.
If Caller ID information has been received you can see a summary of the new calls on the idle screen. After you review all new call records, the NEW CALLS indicator will go off.

About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by pressing 1, 2 or 3. All other messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
•You can record up to two different announcements — one for normal answering and one for when you’ve set the system to play the announcement only.
•Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to callers without accepting messages.
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a pre-recorded announcement.
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. Please leave a message after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded announcement says: “We’re sorry, messages to this number cannot be accepted.”
•By setting Announce Only to on or off, you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal answering, with Announce Only turned off). See “Change announce only” on page 55 to change your announcement selection.
