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 the

incoming callers on the HOME and CELLULAR

lines.

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. In addition, the time and date are sent by

the telephone and cellular service provider along

with the caller ID information. 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 call log records the caller ID

information of both lines, CELLULAR line call

log entries only provide the incoming telephone

number. The time and date of the call will appear

in the call log entry if only the time is set. 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

If the incoming telephone number exactly matches

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,

and 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.
