About caller ID

You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service or combined caller ID with call waiting. You can use the telephone’s other features without subscribing to caller ID services. There might be fees for caller ID services and these services might not be available in all areas.

Depending on your service, you might see the caller’s number or the caller’s name and number. The time and date are sent by the telephone company along with the call information.

This product can provide caller ID information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.

It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use caller ID with call waiting features.

Contact your telephone company if:

• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you might need combined service).

• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

• You do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services, but wish to order them.

Telephone operation

Call log

If you subscribe to caller ID service, information about each caller appears after the ﬁrst or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.

The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for the

•

phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it is not saved or shown in the call log. If the phone number has more than 15 but fewer than 24 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If the name has more than 15 characters, only the ﬁrst 15 characters are shown and saved in the call log.

You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.

•

Entries appear in reverse chronological order.

•

When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to

•

make room for new incoming call information.

XX MISSED CALL(S) shows when there are new call log

entries (including missed and unreviewed calls).
