base unit flashes quickly. If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, the calling

view the CALLER ID information, please wait until the second ring to
answer a call.
• The display will show
“INCOMING CALL”

This unit is compatible with a Caller ID service offered by your telephone
company. After subscribing to a Caller ID service, the calling party’s
information will be displayed on the portable unit and base unit after the
first ring.
The unit can record information of up to 50 different callers, including the
time and date the call was received and the number of times called, in the
Caller List. The Caller List information is sorted from the most recent to the
oldest call. When the 51st call is received, the oldest call is deleted.
Using the list, you can automatically call back a caller. You can store the
callers’ names and numbers from the Caller List in the directory, one-touch
dialler or speed dialler. (The callers’ names cannot be stored in the onetouch dialler and speed dialler.)
When a second call is received while talking, the new caller’s phone
number will be displayed (p. 62). (For Australia only)
The displays show
the caller’s phone
number after the
first ring.*
After you answer
the call with the
base unit or portable
unit, its display will
show the length of
the call.
