Caller ID Service

Using Caller ID service

This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to Caller ID service of your telephone service provider.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the calling party’s name and telephone number are displayed. Caller information for the last 50 callers is logged in the caller list by the most recent call to the oldest.
L Generally caller information is displayed
from the 2nd ring.
L If the unit cannot receive caller
information, the following is displayed: –“Out of area”: The caller dialed
from an area which does not provide Caller ID service.
–“Private caller”: The caller
requested not to send caller information.
–“Long distance”: The caller called
you long distance.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
caller information may not be received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the call as a missed call. “Missed call” is displayed on the handset display. This lets you know if you should view the caller list to see who called while you were out. You can view the number of missed calls by pressing {CID} (left soft key).
Note:
L If you press {CID}, then press {OFF}
without viewing all missed calls in the caller list, “Missed call” disappears from the display. When you receive another new call, it is displayed again.
Call Waiting Caller ID display
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services, the 2nd caller’s information is displayed after you hear a Call Waiting tone (page 27). Please contact your telephone service provider for details and availability of this service in your area.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display. When a call comes in, the handset and base unit announce the caller’s name displayed on the handset following every ring. To use this feature, you must subscribe to Caller ID service of your telephone service provider.
L Name pronunciation may vary. This
feature may not pronounce all names correctly.
L Caller ID supports names of up to 15
letters. If the caller’s name has more than 15 letters, the name is not displayed or announced correctly.
L When you receive a call while on the
phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.
L The announcement is heard at the ringer
volume (page 26, 45).
36 For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/phonehelp

Caller ID Service
L This feature can be turned on or off
(page 45).
Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringers for different callers stored in the phonebook (page 29). You can assign a different ringer to each phonebook item. When a call is received from a caller stored in the phonebook, the assigned ringer rings after Caller ID information is displayed.
Light-up ID
This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer indicator colors for different callers stored in the handset phonebook (page 29). You can assign a different indicator color to each handset phonebook item. When a call is received from a caller stored in the handset phonebook, the assigned indicator color flashes after Caller ID information is displayed.
Picture ID (Color display models only)
Important:
L Only KX-TG5766 and KX-TGA571
support this feature.
This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different pictures for different callers stored in the handset phonebook (page 29). You can assign a different picture to each phonebook item. When a call is received from a caller stored in the phonebook, the assigned picture is displayed after Caller ID information is displayed.

Caller ID number will be displayed in the same Format as the Edited Number.
– After the call is ended, the telephone
number of the caller, when reviewed from the Caller list, will be displayed in
the same Format as the Edited Number. For example, you can use this feature to set the unit to ignore the area code of callers in your area code, so that you can call these local numbers using caller information without dialing the area code. To activate this feature, you must edit an item in the caller list, then call that number. After that, phone numbers from that caller’s area code are edited automatically. This feature can be turned on or off (page

Voice Mail Service

Using Voice Mail service

Voice Mail is an automatic answering service offered by your telephone service provider. After you subscribe to this service, the telephone service provider’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 the telephone service provider, not your telephone.
Important:
L Please contact your telephone service
provider for details and availability of this service in your area.
Voice Mail (VM) tone detection
Your telephone service provider sends special signals (sometimes called “Voice Mail tones” or “stutter tones”) to the unit to let you know you have new Voice Mail messages. If you hear a series of dial tones followed by a continuous dial tone after you press {C} or {SP-PHONE}, you have new Voice Mail messages. Minutes after you hang up a call or after the phone stops ringing, your unit will check the phone line to see if new Voice Mail messages have been recorded. Turn this feature off when:
– you do not subscribe to Voice Mail
service.
– your telephone service provider does
not send Voice Mail tones.
– your phone is connected to a PBX. If you are not sure which setting is required, consult your telephone service provider.

Useful Information
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the base unit must be installed and operated with its antenna located 20 cm (8 inches) or more between antenna and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet). The handset may be carried and operated with only the optional specific belt-clip. Other non­tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply and must be avoided. The product must not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
