You must subscribe to Caller ID services
through your local telephone provider to use
these features.
When the telephone rings, the Caller ID
feature allows you to view the caller’s name
and phone number, along with the date and
time of the call. With CIDCW (Caller ID on
Call Waiting), you will hear a call waiting
tone while you are on a call, and the Caller
ID data is displayed. To accept the waiting
call, press
TALK/FLASH (see “Flash and Call
Waiting” on page 37). Ô
Additionally, you can dial a number stored in
the Caller ID list or save data to your
Phonebook locations.
1. When the Caller ID message is
received, the display shows the caller's
phone number along with the date and
time. The incoming call information is
stored in the Caller ID record. If the
Caller ID service includes the caller's
name, the name will appear in the
display (up to 15 characters).
You may receive any one of the
following messages:

exchange (PBX), the
caller's phone number
and name may not
appear.
