Caller ID service

Important:

L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use

Caller ID features (such as displaying caller phone numbers), you must subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult your service provider for details.

For all local and national incoming calls, your display will show the area code (e.g. 09 for Auckland) or the cellular prefix (e.g. 0274 for Telecom Cellular) followed by the caller’s telephone number. An Auckland caller’s number will be displayed as 09XXXXXXX. The seven X’s represent the seven digits of the caller’s telephone number. A caller from a 6-digit Telecom Cellular number will be displayed as 0274XXXXXX. For incoming international calls, your display may only show “0000”. For business users on a Centrex line, your display will show Centrex extension numbers in the shorter extension number format used within your company.

Using toll services from Telecom or another company

Your telephone company may charge you for a local call if the number dialled has the area code prefix included. If this is unacceptable, dial only the 7-digit local number. Do not dial the {0} prefix or the area code.

Caller ID features

When an outside call is received, the caller’s phone number can be displayed.

L Phone numbers of the last 50 callers will

be logged in the Caller ID list.

L While listening to a message recorded by

the answering system, you can call back the caller without having to dial the phone number (KX-TCD580 only).

L When Caller ID information is received

and it matches a phone number stored in the unit’s phonebook:

– The stored name will be displayed and

logged in the Caller ID list.

– The handset will use the ringer indicator

colour and pattern assigned to the caller’s category.

– The handset will announce the audible

call recording you made (KX-TCD580 only).

L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,

you may not receive the caller information.

L When the caller dialled from an area

which does not provide Caller ID service, “Out of Area” will be displayed.

L When the caller requested not to send

caller information, either no information or

“Private Caller” will be displayed.

Missed calls

If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. q and the number of missed calls are shown on the display. This lets you know if you should view the Caller ID list to see who called while you were out.

Private category

Private categories can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer indicator colours and ringer types for different categories of callers. You can assign entries in the handset phonebook to a category (page 15), change the category names (“Friends”, “Family”, etc., page 25), and search for phonebook entries by category (page 16). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a category, the ringer indicator colour (page

25) and ringer type (page 24) you select is used.

Audible call (KX-TCD580 only)

Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display. If you record an audible call announcement for a base unit phonebook entry (page 19), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive a call from that person.

Optional Telephone Services

L If the ringer volume is turned off, audible

call announcements will not be heard.

Call minder

Call minder is an automatic answering service offered by your service provider.

Additional base units

Handsets can be registered to up to 4 base units, allowing you to add additional base units and extend the area in which your handset(s) can be used. If a handset moves out of range of its base unit when “Auto” is selected on base unit selection (page 41), it will look for another base unit to make or receive calls. A base unit and the handsets it communicates with is called a “radio cell”.

Note:
