Caller ID33About caller IDThis product supports caller ID services that most local telephone service companies provide. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from 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 waitingCaller 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 might 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 might 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.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 from the telephone company along with the call information.Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 37).NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. 999.833.8813DISJTUJOF!TNJUI21;12BN :036NEW
Caller ID34Caller ID historyHow the caller ID history (call log) worksThe telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.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. XX MISSED CALL(S) appears if there are new call log entries (including missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the call log.NOTES: 1. Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset tries to enter the directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.2. Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.999.833.8813DISJTUJOF!TNJUI21;12BN :036NEW999.833.8813DISJTUJOF!TNJUI21;12BN :036NEWCaller’s nameCaller’s numberAppears when there are missed and unreviewed calls.Date of callTime of call
Caller ID35Caller ID operationMemory matchIf the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory. For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.Missed (new) calls indicatorWhen a handset is in idle mode and has unreviewed calls, its screen shows XX MISSED CALLS. All unreviewed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call log entry with the icon NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one. If you do not want to review the missed calls 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 become old (have been reviewed), and the missed calls counter shows 0.NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format from 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 appears the same from the phone company. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name is the one which the phone company sends.999.833.8813DISJTUJOF!TNJUI21;12BN :036NEW7!NJTTFE!DBMMT!IBOETFU!2999.994.3556Spcfsu!Cspxo

Answering system39About the answering systemAnswering system and voicemailYour telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Most telephone companies offer voicemail services (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 13. To listen to your voicemail, you typically follow the instructions that your voicemail service provider provides. To listen to messages 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.Message capacityThe 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 remain available for replay until you delete them.When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the number of messages stored flashes in the message counter.If F is flashing in the message counter, the memory is full. You must delete some messages before recording new ones.Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone baseUnless you change it, the answering system is on and ready to record messages. You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the answering system does not answer calls and record incoming messages.Press ANSWER ON/OFF to turn the answering system on or off. If the answering system is turned on, it announces “Calls will be answered.” If the answering system is turned off, it announces “Calls will not be answered.”NOTE: 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.
