–“Private caller”: The caller
requested not to send caller
information.
–“Long distance”: The caller
called you long distance.
LIf the unit is connected to a PBX
system, caller information may not be
received properly. Consult your PBX
supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats
the call as a missed call. “Missed
call” is displayed on the handset
display. This lets you know if you should
view the caller list to see who called
while you were out.
Customer name display
When the Caller ID number is received
and it matches a phone number stored
in the phonebook, the stored name from
the phonebook is displayed and logged
in the caller list.

Once you call back an edited number,
the unit will remember the Area Code

time when someone calls from the
same Area Code, caller information will
be customized by the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the
Caller ID number will be displayed in
the same Format as the Edited
Number.
– After the call is ended, the phone
number of the caller, when reviewed
from the Caller list, will be displayed in
the same Format as the Edited

For example, you can use this feature to
set the unit to ignore the area code of
callers in your area code, so that you
can call these local numbers using
caller information without dialing the
area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit
an item in the caller list, then call that
number. After that, phone numbers from
that caller’s area code are edited
automatically.
This feature can be turned on or off

but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact
the local telephone company. For

company will notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. But if
advance notice isn’t practical, the

you will be advised of your right to file
a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment.
