Caller ID Service

Using Caller ID service

Ann 555-321-5555

This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to your telephone company’s Caller ID service.

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 different callers is logged in the caller list, allowing you to return missed calls. Caller information is stored 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.

Private name display

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name is displayed and logged in the caller list.

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 29).

Note:

L Please contact your telephone company

for details and availability of this service in your area.

Talking Caller ID Y

This feature lets you know who is calling

without looking at the display. When a call

comes in, the handset announces the

caller’s name displayed on the handset

following every ring.

To use this feature, you must subscribe to

your telephone company’s Caller ID

service.

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 Usually the handset announces the

caller’s name after the 2nd ring. If you turn on the answering system and set the ring count to “2 rings” (page 61), the handset does not announce the caller’s name. If “Toll saver” is selected and there is a new message, the handset does not announce the caller’s name.

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 This feature can be turned on or off

(page 50).

Caller ID Service

Ringer ID Y o

This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringers for different callers stored in the phonebook (page 31, 34). You can assign a different ringer to each phonebook item. When a call is received from a caller stored in the phonebook, the ringer is used after Caller ID information is displayed.

Light-up ID Y

This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer indicator colors for different callers stored in the handset phonebook (page 31). 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 indicator color is used after Caller ID information is displayed.

Caller list

Caller information for the last 50 different

callers is logged in the caller list. You can

use this list to return missed calls.

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

Caller ID number auto edit feature

Once you call back an edited number, the

unit can automatically edit other incoming

phone numbers each time you receive a

call.

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

50). The default setting is “On”.

Note:

L Phone numbers from the 4 most recently

edited area codes are automatically edited.

L If you move to another area, you can

turn this feature off to erase previously edited area codes. To use this feature again, turn it on and reprogram the area codes you want to edit once again.

Using a Cellular Phone with this Unit

Configuring a cellular phone

If your cellular phone is Bluetooth wireless technology compatible to the home communication system, you can use the handset or base unit to make or answer calls using a cellular line. This feature is useful for maximizing the benefits of cellular services (such as free unlimited nights and weekends, or cellular to cellular calling plans) by utilizing unused peak minutes with your home phone.

To use this feature you must first: – register your cellular phone to the base

unit (page 64). – turn on discoverable mode (page 64). – connect the cellular phone to the base

unit (page 65).

Important:

L The following procedures must be

performed using the base unit. L Up to 5 cellular phones can be

registered (when other Bluetooth

devices are not registered). There can

be only one active Bluetooth connection

at a time. L To keep the cellular line stable between

the base unit and cellular phone, we

recommend you use a cellular phone

within the range of the base unit. L While you are on a cellular call, the

battery of your cellular phone is being

consumed. We recommend you place

your cellular phone on its charger during

the call.

Useful Information

When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might be heard in your Hearing Aid. Some Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an optional headset accessory or the speakerphone option (if applicable) when using this phone. Consult with your audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids which provide adequate shielding to RF energy commonly emitted by digital devices.

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

− Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

− Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

− Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

− Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.
