69About caller IDThis product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear 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 calls. The caller ID may appear differently if the caller is matched to a directory entry (see Memory match on page 70).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 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.Caller ID information is available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. A caller ID log entry can show a maximum number of 24 digits.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.•••Caller ID Charlie Johnson888-883-24455:32am     8/06 NEWSAVE
70Caller ID operationHow the caller ID history (caller ID 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.NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the caller ID log.Memory matchIf the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 digits of 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 you see on your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the last 7 digits of the incoming telephone number do not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.Caller ID HomeCHRISTINE SMITH888-722-77025:32am     8/06 SILENCE HomeChris888-722-77025:32am     8/06SILENCE

82About the answering systemAnswering system and voicemailYour telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those recorded in 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   and XX New messages display on the handsets and the message window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press  /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. To listen to messages with a handset, see To listen to messages with a handset on page 86.If   and New voicemail display on the handsets, 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.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. Using the answering system and voicemail togetherYou 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.Answering system
