Caller ID Features
Caller ID
When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller’s name
and phone number on the display before you answer the phone.
The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the name, time, and the
number of calls. Additionally, you can dial the displayed number and store the
information for memory dialing.
Setting Caller ID options/Language
There are three Caller ID setup options available; they are Instant Talk, CIDCW (Caller
ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code.
Instant Talk allows you to answer the phone without pressing the
TALK/FLASH
button. If the phone rings when Instant Talk is on, simply remove the handset from
the base and the phone automatically answers the call. If the phone rings when
Instant Talk is off, you must press
TALK/FLASH to answer the call.
Note
Instant Talk is referred to as
Auto Talk in the screen.
Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) performs the same as regular Caller ID on a Call
Waiting number. You must subscribe to CIDCW from your phone company in
order to use this feature.
If you enter a 3-digit area code number in the
Area Code option, your local area
code does not appear in Caller ID messages. When reviewing Caller ID messages,
you will see only the local seven digit number. For calls received from outside your
local area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.
Note
If your calling area requires 10-digit dialing, do not program this option.
Language option can be used to choose the language of your display. You can select
either English or French.
To change your Caller ID options/Language:
1 Press and hold CID/MENU. The following
screen appears.
2 Use ▲ and ▼ or a number key (1-5) to move the pointer to the selection that you
would like to change.
• For Instant Talk, press the
SELECT key to toggle between On or Off.
• For CIDCW, press the
SELECT key to toggle between On or Off.
• To change the Area Code, press
SELECT and use the number keypad to enter
the Area Code, then press
SELECT again. (You will hear a confirmation tone
indicating the area code has been changed.)
• To set up the language of your display, move
the pointer to “Language”. Press
SELECT to
select “
Eng” (English) or “Fr.” (French).
3 After you have made your selections, press OFF
and return the handset to the base.
