Caller ID Service
32
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 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 display colour
and ringtone assigned to the caller’s
category.
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. y is shown on the
display. When the screen saver mode (page
13) is cancelled, the number of missed calls
is displayed next to y. This lets you know if
you should view the caller list to see who
called while you were out.
Call waiting and Caller ID
compatible
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your
handset displays the second caller’s
information while talking. After you hear a
call-waiting tone, the caller’s phone number
will be displayed.
You can answer the second call, keeping the
first call on hold. Follow Telstra or your
service provider instructions using {R}.
L If the phone number is stored in the
phonebook with its name, the caller’s
name will also be displayed.
L Please contact Telstra or your service
provider for details and availability in your
area.
Using Caller ID type II
When you receive a second call during a
conversation, you will hear a signal tone
following the call waiting tone and the
conversation will be interrupted or
muted for a short period of time. This is
not the fault of the product as these events
are normal.
Note:
L The tones are generated by the service
provider.
Category features for Caller ID
subscribers
Categories can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringtones and
display colours for different categories of
callers. When adding an entry to the
phonebook you can assign it to the desired
category (page 18). When a call is received
from a caller assigned to a category, the
category’s display colour and 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 22 when calls from this category are
received. The default setting is “Ext.
Ringtone”.
