Caller ID
7
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. Call your telephone
company for details. This service shows the
telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you answer a call, the Caller
ID information disappears from the LCD, but
the call information stays stored in the Caller
ID memory.
You can view the list or choose one of the
numbers to fax to, add to Speed Dial or delete
from the history. (See Caller ID history
on page 76.)
„ You can see the first 20 characters of the
number (or name).
„ The # Unavailable message means
the call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
„ The Private Call message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See How to print
a report on page 89.)
Note
• This feature may not be available in
certain areas of the USA and Canada.
• The Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local telephone
company to find out about the kind of
service available in your area.
Setting up your area code (USA only)
7
When returning calls from the caller ID history
your machine will automatically dial “1” plus
the area code for all calls. If your local dialing
plan requires that the “1” not be used for calls
within your area code enter your area code in
this setting. With the area code setting, calls
returned from the caller ID history to your
area code will be dialed using 10 digits (area
code + 7-digit number). If your dialing plan
does not follow the standard 1 + area code +
7-digit number dialing system for calling
outside your area code, you may experience
problems returning calls automatically from
the caller ID history. If this is not the
procedure followed by your dialing plan, you
will not be able to return calls automatically.
