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 from the
HOME line allows you to see the name, number,
date and time of the incoming call. However,
caller ID from the CELLULAR line only shows the
number of the incoming call; date and time of the
call will not be shown.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name
and telephone number of the caller before
answering the telephone, even when on another
call. For incoming HOME call, the time and date
will also be sent by the telephone service provider
along with the caller ID information. For incoming
CELLULAR call, only the caller's number will be
provided. These services are available only if both
you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID
service, and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.
Contact your local telephone company and
cellular service provider 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 any caller ID or call
waiting services.
You can use this product with regular caller
ID service, or you can use this product’s other
features without subscribing to either caller ID or
combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID history information
If you subscribe to caller ID services, provided by
your local telephone company and/or cellular
service provider, the caller ID history storesthe caller ID history stores
information about the last 50 incoming calls forfor
both the HOME and CELLULAR lines.
Although the caller ID history records the caller
ID information of both lines, the CELLULAR
line caller ID entries only provide the incoming
telephone number. The Bluetooth name of the
cellular phone will also appear. However, if the
number on the incoming CELLULAR call matches
a number in the directory, the name will be
retrieved from the matched directory entry.
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

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.
There are also occasions when other information
or no information is displayed for various reasons:

�aller ID operation
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.

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,
and each alerts you to new messages differently.
For more information on the voicemail indicators
see page 24. 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 your 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.

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. The actual recording time depends on
individual message characteristics. 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 on the side of
the telephone base to adjust the playback volumeto adjust the playback volume
when playing messages.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you
through the setup procedures.
NOTE: Only messages
from the HOME line can
be recorded in the
system.
