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, 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,

L Please contact your telephone company
for details and availability of this service
in your area.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling

name displayed on the unit following every
ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to
your telephone company’s Caller ID
service.

name after the 2nd ring.
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.

Caller ID Service
Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringers for
different callers stored in the phonebook
(page 21). 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.
Picture ID
This feature can help you identify who is
calling by using different pictures for
different callers stored in the phonebook
(page 21). You can assign a different
picture to each phonebook item. When a
call is received from a caller stored in the
phonebook, the picture is used after Caller
ID information is displayed.
Note:
L When both lines receive calls at the
same time, picture IDs are not displayed
for either line, even after one line
answers the call individually.
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

list to see who called while you were out.
