Caller ID
The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The
callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
Caller ID history
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service
provider and/or cell phone service provider, 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 caller ID log.
The home line and each cell phone paired to the DS6472 have their own
caller ID log.
The caller ID log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 15 digits
for the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the name has
more than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and
saved in the caller ID log. If the phone number has more than 15 digits,
only the last 15 digits are shown and saved in the caller ID log.
You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.
Entries are in reverse chronological order.
When the caller ID log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for
new incoming call information.
XX Missed calls shows when there are new caller ID log entries that
have not been reviewed.
Caller ID log empty shows when you access the caller ID log with
no records.
Only one handset can review the caller ID log at a time. If a handset
tries to enter the caller ID log while another handset is already in it,
Not available at this time appears.

Memory match
If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone number is an exact match
with a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the
screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Elizabeth Jones calls, her name appears as Liz if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
The number you see on your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone
service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code
plus telephone number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone
number does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is
delivered by the telephone service provider.
