Using Caller ID service
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.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received,
the calling party’s telephone number is
displayed.
Telephone numbers for the last 50
callers are logged in the caller list by the
most recent call to the oldest.
LIf the unit cannot receive caller
information, the following is
displayed:
–“Out of area”: The caller dialled
from an area which does not
provide Caller ID service.
–“Private caller”: The caller
requested not to send caller
information.
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX
system, caller information may not be
received properly. Consult your PBX
supplier.
LIf the name display service is
available in your area, the display
shows caller names. For further
information, please contact your
service provider/telephone company.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats
the call as a missed call. You can view
the number of missed calls by pressing
{View CID}.
Phonebook name display
When the Caller ID number is received
and it matches a phone number stored
Caller ID Service
in the phonebook, the stored name from
the phonebook is displayed and logged
in the caller list.
Call waiting and Caller ID
compatible
If you subscribe to Caller ID service,
your handset displays the 2nd caller’s
information while talking. After you hear
a call waiting tone, the caller’s phone
number will be displayed.
You can answer the 2nd call, keeping
the 1st call on hold.
Follow your service provider/telephone
company instructions using {RECALL}.LIf the phone number is stored in the
phonebook with its name, the caller’s
name will also be displayed.
LPlease contact your service provider/
telephone company for details and
availability in your area.
For Caller ID Type II users
When you receive a 2nd call during a
conversation, you will hear a signal tone
following the call waiting tone and the
conversation will be interrupted or
muted for a short period of time. This
is not a fault of the product as these
events are normal.
LThe tones are generated by your
service provider/telephone company.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling
without looking at the display. To use
this feature, you must subscribe to
Caller ID service from your service
provider/telephone company and turn
this feature on (page 28). When a caller
information is received, the all supplied
handset(s) and base unit announce:
– the caller’s phone number following
every ring.
21
Page 22
Caller ID Service
– the caller’s customized name
following every ring, if the caller
information matches a phone
number stored in the handset 1
phonebook. If the handset 1 does
not have a link to the base unit
(battery is empty, for instance), the
other handset(s)
unit announce the caller’s phone
number.
*1 KX-TG6052/KX-TG6053
LUsually the unit announces the
caller’s information after the 2nd ring.
Depending on your telephone service
provider, the unit may announce the
caller’s information later than usual.
LName pronunciation may vary. This
feature may not pronounce all names
correctly.
LUsually the unit announces the
caller’s information after the 2nd ring.
If you turn on the answering system
and set the ring count to “2” (page
34), the unit does not announce the
caller’s information. If “Toll saver”
is selected and there is a new
message, the unit does not announce
the caller’s information.
LYour unit may mute one or more rings
in order to announce the caller’s
information. Talking Caller ID takes
precedence over ringing.
LThe announcement is heard at the
ringer volume (page 15 , 28).
LThis feature can be turned on or off
(page 28).
LFor users in name display service
available areas:
– The unit announces the Caller ID
name provided by your telephone
service provider.
– The unit announces the customized
phonebook entry name for numbers
stored in the handset 1 phonebook.

and the base
– Caller ID service has a limit of how
many characters can be displayed.
If a caller’s name is too long, the
handset may not be able to display
or announce the entire name.
Ringer ID/Light-up ID
This feature can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringers and
ringer indicator colours for different
callers stored in the phonebook. You
can assign a different ringer and
indicator colour to each phonebook
item. When a call is received from a
caller stored in the phonebook, the
assigned ringer rings and the assigned
ringer indicator colour flashes after
Caller ID information is displayed.
If you select “No Ringer ID” (default)
or “No Light-up ID” (default), the
handset uses the ringer tone or ringer
indicator colour you selected on page
27 when a call is received from that
caller.
LThe ringer and indicator colour may
be changed after the 2nd ring.

Instructions to customer
Installation
Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a
“Permitted Attachment” which has been authorised to be connected to your
telephone service.
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are
contained in Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the
line socket of any regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing
telephone or to any spare telephone socket installed in your premises.
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line
socket. You can then insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and
use your equipment.
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to
remove the screw securing it. To do this proceed as follows:
1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)
2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)
3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket
recess. (If the screw is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with
one 5 mm shorter.)
4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

Useful Information
If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your
Permitted Attachment, your installation is completed.
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service
consists only of a wall phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by
means of a modern plug and socket. In such cases a new socket will need to be
installed.
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either
faulty or unsuitable for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to
the store where purchased or an Authorised Service Centre.
Service difficulties
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service, carry out the following checks
before you call for service:
LDisconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal
telephone.
LIf the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted
Attachment. Leave the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to
its supplier or agent to arrange for repair.
LIf when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service
Difficulties and Faults” for attention.
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is
connected to your telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be
modified in any way without permission.
WARNING:
This cordless telephone system does not incorporate provision for secrecy of
conversations. Appropriately tuned radio equipment and other cordless telephone
systems in close proximity may be used by a third party to monitor and possibly
interrupt conversations in progress when this system is on radio operation.
