Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID function with call
waiting feature which works with service from your
local telephone company.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name
and telephone number of the caller before
answering the telephone, even while on another
call.
It may be necessary to change your telephone
service to use this feature. Contact your telephone
company if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but
as separate services (you may need combined
service).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call
waiting service.
• You do not have any caller ID or call waiting
services.
This product can be used with regular caller ID
service, or this product’s other features can be
used without subscribing to either caller ID or
combined caller ID with call waiting service.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition,
services may not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you may see the
caller’s number or the caller’s name and number.
This product can provide information only if both
you and the caller are in areas offering caller
ID service and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment. The time and date are sent
by the telephone company along with the call
information.
NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and
the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if
both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

How the call log works
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is
stored in the call log. You can review the call log
to find out who has called, easily return the call,
or copy the caller’s name and number into your
directory.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted
to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
The call log is stored in the telephone base, and
is shared by all handsets. Changes made at any
one handset will be reflected in all.
NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID log
or directory at a time. If another handset attempts to
enter the directory or caller ID log, it will display NOT

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number exactly
matches a telephone number in your directory,
the name that appears on the screen will match
the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name
will appear as Chris if this is how you entered it
into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID will be in
the format sent by the phone company. The phone
company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area
code plus phone number). If the telephone number of
the person calling does not exactly match a number in
your directory, the name will appear as delivered by the
phone company. For example if the phone company
includes the area code and the directory number does
not, the name will appear as delivered by the phone
company.
Missed calls indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has calls that
have not been reviewed, its screen will show XX
MISSED CALLS.
All entries which have not been reviewed will be
counted as missed calls when the phone is idle.
Each time a call log entry marked NEW is reviewed,
the number of missed calls decreases by one.
If you have too many missed calls and you do
not want to review them one by one, but you still
want to keep them in the call log, you can press
and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the
handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID log
will be considered old (have been reviewed), and
the missed calls counter is reset to 0.
