Basic Operation
Call Log (Caller ID - Call Waiting)
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID
Your ip 5850 is capable of displaying the number of the calling party before you
answer the phone (Caller ID). If the number is contained in the phonebook, the
name of the caller will also be displayed. It is also capable of displaying Caller ID
information in conjunction with a Call Waiting alert signal (Call Waiting Caller ID).
With Call Waiting Caller ID, the Caller ID data is displayed so you can decide
whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your current conversation.
Your ip 5850 can hold up to 50 CID entries.
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone
service providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of
these features. If you do not subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still
use your ip 5850 and the other features it offers.
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be
available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may
intentionally block their name and/or phone number from being sent.
• As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID records are
received, your Handset displays will alert you
to the new Caller ID records, for example:
• After you review all new Caller ID records,
the NEW call indication will be turned off
and the screen will show:
• If the call log is full, the oldest entry is
deleted to make room for the new call. If the
call log is empty when you try to enter to
Call Log review, the following message is
displayed:
