Caller ID
43
This deskset supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers
offer. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s
number, or the caller’s name and number from 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
telephone, and while on another call.
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition,
this service might be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual
call waiting) by different telephone service providers and might not be
available in all areas.
It might be necessary to change 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
might need to combine these services)
You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
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 from the telephone service
provider 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.
NOTES:
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, or you can use this telephone’s other
features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you
set (See Area codes in your SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s manual for explanations and
instructions for setting area codes).

Caller ID Information
How the caller ID information (call log) works
The deskset stores caller ID information for the last 50 incoming calls. Entries
are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest
entry when the log is full to make room for a new call.
Each extension has an independent call log. Deleting
the caller ID information on any one extension does not
affect the caller ID information on other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
Review the caller ID information to see who called, to
easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and
number into your directory.
NEW CALL indicator turns on and XX Missed call(s) appears if there are new
call log entries (including new or missed calls).
Call log empty appears if there are no records in the call log.
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone number
are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until
the caller hangs up, or until the call has been answered at another extension,
or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the
time and date each time new call information is received. You can also set
the time and date manually (see Set date and time in your SynJ SB67118/
SB67138 user’s manual).
NOTES:
The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
Each entry can store up to 32 digits for the telephone number and 16 characters for the
name. If the telephone number has more than 16 digits but less than or equal to 24 digits,
only the last 17 digits appear. If the telephone number has more than 24 digits, only the 8th
to 24th digits (17 digits) appear. In order to view the entire number, you must first save the
entry to the directory (see page 46). For instructions on viewing the digits, see page 44. If the
telephone number has more than 32 digits, it is not saved or shown in the call log.

Memory match
If 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 it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown is in the format from the telephone service provider. It usually
delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). The telephone
system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first
corresponding number from the directory.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When the deskset is in idle mode and has new missed calls,
its screen shows XX Missed call(s).
All new missed 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. When all the
entries in the call log become old (have been reviewed), the
system removes the missed calls alert from the display, and
the NEW CALL indicator turns off.

Reasons for missing caller ID information
Reasons for missing caller ID information
There are also occasions when other information or no information shows for
various reasons:
Screen message Reason
Private caller
The caller prefers not to show the telephone number and name.
Unknown caller
Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s
name and telephone number.
Calls from other countries may also generate this message.
Answering system

Answering system and voicemail
The deskset has a private voicemail box that is different from the general
mailbox on the main base or handset. The voicemail messages for the
deskset can be accessed from the main base.
The deskset has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your
service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your
telephone’s built-in answering system messages and
voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to
new messages differently.
If you turn on the COVM feature (see COVM on
page 29 for more information) and the COVM icon
displays on the base screen, your telephone service
provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for
you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an
access number provided by your telephone service
provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
/MAILBOX on the deskset (page 60).
Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail
and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check
what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone
service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off
your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate
your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system
and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer
before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your
voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, 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.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six
rings, 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.

Set the answering system to answer automatically
You can set each of the four lines to automatically answer incoming calls on
the main base in two different ways. See the SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s
manual for more information.
General mailbox:
The called line rings on every extension for each incoming call. If there is no
answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message in the general mailbox, which
a person at any handset or the deskset can review. The general mailbox stores
incoming messages, memos and recorded calls.
Auto attendant:
The called line for each incoming call flashes on every extension, but does not
ring. Instead, the auto attendant answers. The caller can specify an extension
or leave a general mailbox message. When the auto attendant directs a call to
an extension but it is not answered, the auto attendant prompts the caller to
leave a message for that extension or try another extension.
Answering system capacity
The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available
for review until you delete them.
Each recorded announcement requires system memory, so we suggest
recording a brief announcement in order to leave more space for messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to
Remaining space in the SynJ SB67118/SB67138 telephone base manual.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup
procedures.

Deskset mailbox overview
Your deskset has its own mailbox which is different from the general mailbox
on the main base. If you turn on the auto attendant on the main base and
fast answer mode on the deskset, the caller is able to leave a message on
the deskset mailbox after two rings. If you do not turn on the fast answer
mode on the deskset, the answering system picks up the call after five
rings and allows the caller to leave a message on the deskset mailbox, call
another extension.
New message indication
When you have new messages in the deskset mailbox, the screen displays
New messages. In addition, the new message indicator flashes.
If the notify alert is turned on (pages 53-54), you will receive a phone call
at the telephone number you chose each time a new message has been
recorded.
There is no new message indication on the deskset when messages are left in
the general mailbox.
Fast answer mode
You can set the number of times your extension rings before auto attendant
asks the caller to leave you a message or choose another extension. The
number of rings can be two (on) or five (off). The default is five rings.
When the deskset is idle, press /MAILBOX.

You can remotely access the message from a touch-tone telephone
(page 61). To receive notification calls, you must save your phone number
on the deskset, and then set the system to call that number after it finishes
recording a message. It is better to enter a telephone number that has
caller ID service. The silence will last about 15 seconds and then the call
ends. If no one picks up the call within three rings, the deskset stops calling
it. The system only calls the alert number once. If your cell phone or paging

Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on
the product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock
from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain
circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet,
or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with
the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power
outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an
environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there
is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such
environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial
gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet
basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do

unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has
dried thoroughly.

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary
evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac
pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to
physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
