Caller ID Features
Understanding the Caller ID service
Caller ID allows the caller’s phone number to be shown on the display before you
answer the call. In order to use this feature, you must first subscribe to Caller ID
service. The name of this service may vary depending on your telephone company.
To use this feature, be sure to enter the area code (see page 13).
When you receive a call
The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in the
following example.
If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service or if the phone number
stored in the one-touch dialing, or the Phone Directory matches with the Caller ID
data phone number, the caller’s name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).
The caller’s name will appear by the name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone
Directory if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the
ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons or in the Phone Directory.
When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the “TALK” or
“SPEAKERPHONE” display.
Notes
• The caller’s phone number and/or name will not appear in the following cases:
- “OUT OF AREA”: when the call is made through a telephone company which does not offer
Caller ID service (including international calls).
- “PRIVATE”: when the call is “blocked”. For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the
option to prevent his or her telephone data from being displayed on the other party’s Caller
ID display.
• If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the displayed phone number may not
match the number you use to call the extension.
About the memory match function
The name stored in the one-touch dialing or Phone Directory will appear on the
display if you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the ONE-
TOUCH DIAL buttons (see page 39) or in the Phone Directory (see page 43).
In addition, the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring and
“9” will appear to the right of the displayed name if you receive a call from a VIP
registered phone number on the base phone or the cordless handset.
Note
The memory match function does not work with “OUT OF AREA” or “PRIVATE” calls; and it
may not work with calls made from an office which uses multiple lines because the number does
not always match the one you stored in this phone.
