39Caller IDHANDSET 16 MISSED CALLS �aller ID operationMemory matchIf 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 caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is 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 (new) calls indicatorWhen 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 an entry in the caller ID history 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 caller ID history, you can press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history will be considered old (have been reviewed), and the missed calls counter is reset to 0.Chris888-722-7702 NEW10:01AM 11/23 Robert Brown888-883-2445NEW10:31AM11/23

41Answering systemAbout the answering systemAnswering system and voicemailYour telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Voicemail is offered by your telephone service provider (fees may apply). Your telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent features. Each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voicemail indicators, see page 19. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone company, followed by a security code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press PLAY/STOP button on the telephone base.If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set you answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting. By doing this, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
