Caller ID service
Important:
L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying
caller phone numbers), you must
subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult
your service provider for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the caller’s
phone number can be displayed.
L Phone numbers of the last 50 callers will
be logged in the Caller ID list.
L While listening to a message recorded by
the answering system, you can call back
the caller without having to dial the phone
number (KX-TCD580 only).
L When Caller ID information is received
and it matches a phone number stored in
the unit’s phonebook:
– The stored name will be displayed and
logged in the Caller ID list.
– The handset will use the ringer indicator
colour and pattern assigned to the
caller’s category.
– The handset will announce the audible
call recording you made (KX-TCD580
only).
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
you may not receive the caller information.
L When the caller dialled from an area
which does not provide Caller ID service,
“Out of Area” will be displayed.
L When the caller requested not to send
caller information, either no information or
“Private Caller” will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the
call as a missed call. q and the number of
missed calls are shown on the display. This
lets you know if you should view the Caller
ID list to see who called while you were out.
Private category
Private categories can help you identify who
is calling by using different ringer indicator
colours and ringer types for different
categories of callers.
You can assign entries in the handset
phonebook to a category (page 16), change
the category names (“Friends”, “Family”,
etc., page 27), and search for phonebook
entries by category (page 17). When a call is
received from a caller assigned to a
category, the ringer indicator colour (page
27) and ringer type (page 26) you select is
used.
Visual call waiting (Call Waiting ID)
service
This is a service of your service provider and
will only operate if you have subscribed to
this service. When you hear a call waiting
tone during a conversation, the display will
show the second caller’s information. You
can answer the second call, keeping the first
call on hold. Please consult your service
provider for details of this service.
Audible call (KX-TCD580 only)
Audible call allows you to know who is
calling without looking at the display. If you
record an audible call announcement for a
base unit phonebook entry (page 20), the
audible call recording will be announced
when you receive a call from that person.
Note:
L If the ringer volume is turned off, audible
call announcements will not be heard.
Viewing the Caller ID list and
calling back
Phone numbers of the last 50 different
callers will be logged in the Caller ID list. You
can use this list to return missed calls.
