numbers; page 21). These phonebooks allow you to make calls without
having to dial manually. For handset phonebook, you can assign each
handset phonebook entry to the desired category, and search for handset
phonebook entries by name or category.
Handset phonebook category
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, handset phonebook categories (page
Tom
Tom
18) can help you identify who is calling by using different ringtones for
different categories of callers (page 35).
Audible call for shared phonebook
Tom
Audible call allows you to know who is calling without looking at the display.
If you record an audible call announcement for a shared phonebook entry
(page 21), the audible call recording will be announced when you receive
a call from that person.
Audible call is available only after subscribing to Caller ID service (page
35).

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 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.
Caller ID Service
you can call back the caller without having
to dial the phone number (page 41).
L When caller 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 list.
– The handset will use the ringtone
assigned to the caller’s category.
– Both the base unit and handset will
announce the audible call recording you
made.
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. The number of missed
calls is shown on the display. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to see
who called while you were out.
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 different
callers will be logged in the caller list.
L While listening to a message recorded by
the answering system using the handset,
Category features for handset
phonebook
Categories can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringtones for
different categories of callers. When adding
an entry to the handset phonebook you can
assign it to the desired category (page 18).
When a call is received from a caller
assigned to a category, the category’s
ringtone you select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category.

announced from an extension if its ringer
volume is turned off.

Multi-unit Operation
Operating additional units
Additional handsets
Up to 6 handsets can be registered to a
single base unit. Additional handsets will
give you the freedom to, for example, have
an intercom call with another handset while
a third handset is on an outside call. See
page 5 for information on ordering additional
handsets.
Important:
L The additional handset model
recommended for use with this unit is
noted on page 5. If other model handset is
used, certain operations (handset
settings, base unit settings, etc.) may not
be available.
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 47), 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:
L Calls will be disconnected when the
handset moves from one radio cell to
another.
L Intercom calls and call transfers are only
possible between handsets in the same
radio cell.
Registering a handset to a
base unit
To register an additional handset to a
