Using Caller ID

Caller ID (CID) and Caller Name ID (CNID) are optional subscription services provided by your telephone service provider. These features supply incoming caller identification information that displays on your handset.

Notes on calling line display (CLIP)

By default, the number of the caller is shown in the display of your Gigaset telephone. You do not have to make any other settings on your Gigaset telephone.

Page 32

Making calls

However, if the caller's number is not displayed, this can be due to the following:

u You have not ordered CLIP from your net-

work provider or

u Your telephone is connected via a PABX

or a router with an integrated PABX (gateway) that does not transmit all information.

Is your telephone connected via a PA BX /g at ew ay ?

You can establish this by checking for an additional device connected between your telephone and house connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply resetting this device will remedy the situation:

¤ Briefly disconnect the mains plug of your

PABX. Re-insert the plug and wait for the device to restart.

If the caller number is still not displayed:

¤ Check the CLIP settings of your PABX and

activate this function if necessary. In the user guide for the device, search for the term "CLIP" (or an alternative term such as "calling line identification", "phone number transmission", "caller ID", ...). If necessary, contact the device manufacturer.

If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that your network provider does not the CLIP service for this number.

Have you ordered the calling line display service from your network provider?

¤ Check whether your provider supports

calling line display (CLIP) and that the function has been activated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.

Additional information on this subject can be found on the Gigaset homepage at: www.gigaset.com/service
