Notes:
• If you make a mistake while setting the area code, press
DELETE . The cursor moves to the previous digit of the area
code. Repeat Step 6.
• If you do not press a key within 2 minutes, the CID automati-
cally sets the area code to 000 . If this happens, disconnect
then reconnect AC power and repeat Steps 4–6.
7. Repeat Step 6 to set the second and third digits of your area
code, then press CALLBACK . The CID beeps and displays
12:00AM 1/01 or the last date/time you used the CID.
The telephone company sends the correct time with each incoming
call, so the correct date and time are automatically set when the CID
receives its first call.
RESETTING THE CID
Before you use the CID the first time or if your CID stops working
properly, use a straightened paper clip to press
RESET on the bot-
tom of the CID to reset it.
Note: Resetting the CID does not erase stored Caller ID information.

table) using the supplied stand, or you can mount the CID on a wall.

Operation
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY CONTRAST
To lighten or darken the display, repeatedly press CONTRAST . The
CID beeps when it reaches the darkest or lightest display.
RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS
Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. When
you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the call-
er's telephone number (and name, if available) and the call's date
and time between the first and second rings. The CID receives and
displays this information for each call and updates the display with
the current date and time.
The display also shows if caller information is not available or if the
number is blocked by the sender (see “Displayed Call Information”
on Page 4). Your CID saves up to 64 call records, then replaces the
oldest call record with each new one.
During an incoming call, CALL appears, the green indicator above
the display lights, then NEW CALL and the total number of new calls
appear. The green indicator turns off after you review all calls.
Note: If your phone has a hold feature, we do not recommend using
hold for very long. The Caller ID information sent by the phone com-
pany might disconnect a caller on hold if a new call comes in.
If you subscribe to your phone company's message waiting service
and you have messages waiting, the red indicator and
flash
slowly until you retrieve the message.
If you are using the telephone when a new call comes in and you
subscribe to your telephone company’s Call Waiting service,
and the green indicator flash, indicating that a new call is
being received.
If the green indicator lights while the phone is ringing and you see -
PRIVATE CALL- , the caller is blocking their name or telephone
number from being sent.
If you receive more than one call from the same phone number,
and the number of calls appear.
