Using 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 different
callers will be logged in the caller list.
L While listening to a message recorded by
the answering system using the handset,
you can call back the caller without having
to dial the phone number (KX-TG1233
only; page 42).
L When caller 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 list.
– The handset will use the ringtone
assigned to the caller’s category.
– Both the base unit and handset will
announce the audible call recording you
made (KX-TG1233 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. The number of missed
calls is shown on the display. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to see
who called while you were out.
Category features for handset
phonebook
Categories can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringtones for
different categories of callers. When adding
an entry to the handset phonebook you can
assign it to the desired category (page 19).
When a call is received from a caller
assigned to a category, the category’s
ringtone you select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category.
If you select “Ext. Ringtone”, the unit
will use the external ringtone you set on
page 26 when calls from this category are
received. The default setting is “Ext.
Ringtone”.

ringtone, then press {>}.

Audible call for shared
phonebook (KX-TG1233 only)
Audible call allows you to know who is
calling without looking at the display. If you
record an audible call announcement for a
shared phonebook entry (page 22), the
audible call recording will be announced
when you receive a call from that person.
Note:
L Audible call announcements will not be
announced from an extension if its ringer
volume is turned off.
