Caller ID
Memory match
When the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone
number in your directory, the screen displays the stored name of the directory entry.
For example, if Linda Jones calls, her name appears as
Linda if this is how you
entered it into your directory.
The number shown in the caller ID log is in the format sent by the telephone service
provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus phone
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.

Although the caller ID log entries received have 10 digits (the area code plus the
seven-digit number), in some areas, you may dial only the seven digits, or a 1 plus
the seven digits, or a 1 plus the area code plus the seven digits. You can change
the number of digits that you dial from or store to the directory.
While reviewing the caller ID log, press
# (pound key)
repeatedly to show different dialing options for local and long
distance numbers before dialing or saving the telephone
number in the directory.
Press
1 repeatedly if you need to add or remove 1 in
front of the telephone number before dialing or saving it
in the directory.
When the number is shown in the correct format for
dialing, press on the handset to call the number.
If you have programmed the home area code (see page 15), only the last seven
digits of the incoming phone numbers from that area code will be displayed while
reviewing the caller ID log. Press # repeatedly to display all possible dialing options.
