CALLER ID BOX SETUP

Caller ID is a service provided by your
telephone company. When you subscribe to
this service, between the first and second
rings, the telephone company sends the
caller’s telephone number (and name, if
available) and the call’s date and time. The
Caller ID box receives and displays this
information for each call and updates the
display with the current date and time. Your
Caller ID box saves up to 99 call records,
then replaces the oldest call record with
each new one.
