The calling party’s name or telephone number will be
displayed after the 1st ring. You have the option of
whether or not to answer the call.
The unit will automatically store caller information
(name, telephone number, date and time of the call, the
number of times called) from the 30 most recent callers.
It is possible to view caller information one at a time on
the display (page 21) or print the entire Caller ID list
(page 56).
L When caller information is received and it matches a
telephone number stored in the unit’s phonebook,
the stored name will be displayed.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX (Private Branch
Exchange) system, caller information may not be
received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
L If the unit cannot receive caller information, the
following will be displayed:
“OUT OF AREA”: The caller dialled from an area
which does not provide Caller ID service.
“PRIVATE CALLER”: The caller requested not to
send caller information.
“LONG DISTANCE”: The caller made a long distance
call.
To confirm caller information using the Caller ID list
– To print manually, see page 56.
– To print automatically after every 30 new calls,
activate feature #26 (page 39).

The maximum recording time of your greeting message
is either 16 seconds (default) or 60 seconds. We
recommend you record a message of less than 12
seconds to make it easier to receive faxes.
Make sure feature #77 is set to “TAM/FAX” (page 42)
