A WORD ABOUT CALLER ID
-
CID
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller
ID information will not be available for
every call you receive. In addition, the
calling party may intentionally block
their name
&
phone number from being
sent.
NOTE:
You must be in an area where CID
service is available and you must
subscribe to it to use this feature.
If you do not subscribe to the
CID
service, the phone will still operate
normally except that the CID information
is not received or displayed.
Receiving and Storing Calls
This unit receives and displays all CID
information, the caller's telephone
number, the callers name and the
exact date and time of the call.
The phone sequentially numbers these
call records and retains them in the
unit's
CID memory for later review.
These call record numbers are
displayed as the first two digits in the
display. The unit can store up to
50
numbers in its memory.
Note, once the unit's memory is full,
any new call forces a deletion of the
oldest call record.
DIALING FROM CID MEMORY
NOTE:
It is important to note that only the last
7
digits of any number are displayed
when dialing from CID memory.
For example, when you review CID
memory to determine the time and date
a call was received, you would see the
following:
I
'I\
,,
.
However, !hen you dial directly from
CID memqdy, only the last
7
digits of
the receive$ telephone number will be
used. Consequently, you would actually
dial this:
e necessary digits. Your
Once y have located the number
you wi
to dial, simply press
PHON~ The last seven digits will
be add to the numbers already
in the L D, and the whole number
shown
(elow will
be
automatically
dialed.

information is incomplete and will

with your unit or your telephone line.

you may want to notify your telephone
company.
