36Caller ID overviewAbout caller IDThis product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number that are sent by the telephone service provider 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 call, even while on another call.It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone 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 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 service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the telephone service provider along with the call information.The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.NOTE: 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.About home area codeSee Home area code on page 17 to determine if you should enter your area code. Entering the area code changes how numbers are displayed in the caller ID history and makes returning a call from the caller ID history easier (see To dial a number from caller ID history on page 45).•••11/20Christine Smith888-722-770210:30PMCaller ID operation
37Caller ID operationHow 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 telephone 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 in 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 NEW CALL(S) appears if there are new caller ID history entries (including missed and unreviewed calls). CALL LOG EMPTY appears if there are no records in the caller ID history.NOTES:Only one handset can review the caller ID history at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the telephone number and 15 characters for the name. If the telephone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits appear. The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. The callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.Memory matchIf the incoming telephone number is an exact match with 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 into your directory.NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For example, if the telephone service provider includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as delivered by the telephone service provider.•••Caller ID overviewCaller’s nameCaller’s numberAppears when the call is missed and unreviewed.Date of callTime of call11/20Christine Smith888-722-770210:30PM

Each time you review a caller ID history entry marked NEW, the number of missed (new) calls decreases by one.If you do not want to review the missed (new) calls one by one, but you still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and holdOFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history are considered old (reviewed), and the missed (new) calls counter is reset to 0.Reasons for missing caller ID informationThere are also occasions when other information or no information shows for various reasons:Screen message ReasonPRIVATE NAME The caller prefers not to show the name.PRIVATE NUMBER The caller prefers not to show the telephone number.PRIVATE CALLER The caller prefers not to show the name and the telephone number.UNKNOWN NAME Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s name.UNKNOWN NUMBER Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s telephone number.UNKNOWN CALLER Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s name and telephone number.
