Caller ID operation
This telephone has a Caller ID feature that works with caller identification
service provided by your local telephone company. There is a fee for this
service, and it may not be available in all areas. This phone can provide
information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller
identification service, and if both telephone companies use compatible
equipment.
When you use this phone with caller ID service, you can see who’s calling
before you answer the phone. If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting,
a combined service available through many local telephone companies, you
can see who’s trying to reach you even when you’re on another call. This
service may be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call
waiting) by different local telephone companies and may not be available
in all areas.
NOTE: You must subscribe to combined caller ID with call waiting as a
single service to see caller ID information for a call waiting call. Check with
your telephone company for its availability.
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 200. The most
recent call will have the highest number. (For example, if two calls have been
received, call number 002 is the most recent.) When the call history is full,
the earliest call information is automatically deleted to make room for new
incoming call information.
The format of phone numbers displayed will depend on the home and local
area codes you programmed. (See Home area code and Local area code
on page 6 for explanations of area codes. See Program home and local
area codes on page 38 for programming instructions.) If the call came from
within your home area code, the screen displays only the seven digit number
(without an area code). If the call came from one of your local area codes,
the screen displays 10 digits (area code plus the seven digit number). If the
call did not come from any of the area codes you programmed, (1) phone
numbers with 10 or more digits will automatically have a 1 inserted and
displayed before the number and, (2) phone numbers with fewer than 10
digits will be displayed without a 1.
