Caller ID

�aller ID operation

This product supports caller ID services provided

by most local telephone service companies.

Depending on your service subscription, you may

see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and

number which are sent by the telephone company

after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you

to see the name, number, date and time of calls.

Information about caller ID with call waiting

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 to combine

these services).

• You have only caller ID service, or only call

waiting service.

• You don't subscribe to caller ID or call waiting

services.

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 phone 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.

Caller ID

�aller ID operation

How the caller ID history (call log) works

The caller ID history stores information about the

last 50 incoming calls. Review the caller ID history

to find out who called, to easily return the call, or

to copy the caller’s name and number into your

directory.

The phone deletes the earliest entry when the log

is full to make room for new calls.

If you answer a call before the information

appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the

caller ID history.

The caller ID history is stored in the telephone

base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes

made on any one handset will be reflected in all.

NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID

history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter

the directory or caller ID history, it will display NOT

AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

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 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 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 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.

Answering system

About the answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your 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.

Answering system

About the answering system

The answering system can record up to 99

messages, depending on the length of each

message. Individual messages can be up to four

minutes, and the maximum recording time is 14

minutes. Messages will remain available for replay

until you delete them.

When there are new messages (including

memos) on the answering system, the number

of messages stored will flash in the message

counter.

If F is flashing in the message counter, the

memory is full. You will have to delete some

messages before new ones can be recorded.

To play the answering system messages, press

PLAY/STOP. Press VOLUME to adjust theto adjust the

playback volume when playing messages.

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you

through setup.

Answering system

NOTE: If the clock is

not set when a

message is recorded,

the system will

announce "Time and

day not set" before the

message is played.

Day & time announcement

Before playing each message, the answering

system announces the day and time the message

was received.

If you subscribe to caller ID service from your local

telephone company, the time will automatically

be set with every incoming call. You must set

the year so that the day of the week can be

calculated from the caller ID information.

To check day & time

You can press CLOCK when the system is idle to

hear the current day and time.

If you do not hear the correct time, day, and year,

follow the steps below.

To set day & time
