Using 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/telephone company
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.
L The Caller ID information will not be
presented on incoming fax calls if Telecom
FaxAbility is used.
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 will be displayed.
L Phone numbers of the last 50 callers will
be logged in the caller list.
L When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
Caller ID Service
unit’s phonebook, the stored name will be
displayed and logged in the caller list.
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.

For Telecom Call Minder
or TelstraClear Message
Mailbox service
subscribers
To receive Call Minder or Message Mailbox
messages, please note the following:
“Call Minder” and “Message Mailbox” are
automatic answering services offered by
your service provider/telephone company. If
you subscribe to this service, your service
provider/telephone company’s voice mail
system will answer calls for you when you
are unavailable to answer the phone or
when your line is busy. Messages are
recorded by your service provider/telephone
company, not your telephone. Your service
provider/telephone company uses a
“Stutter” dial tone (special dial tone) to
indicate that you have new messages.
When you have new messages, 0 will be
displayed on the handset. Please consult
your service provider/telephone company
for details of this service.
Note:
L If 0 still remains on the display even
after you have listened to new messages,
turn it off by pressing and holding {C/T}
for 2 seconds.
