Using Caller ID and Call Waiting
If you subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company, your
phone will show you the caller’s phone number and name (if
available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to both Call
Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also shows you the name and
the number of any call that comes in while you are on the line.
NOTES
If you answer a call before the Caller ID message
is received (for example, before the second ring),
the Caller ID message may not appear.
When the call is received via a Telephone
Company that does not offer Caller ID service,
the caller’s phone number and name will not
appear. (This includes some international calls.)
When the Call is from a PBX (private branch
exchange), the caller’s phone number and
name may not appear, but you may see a main
company phone number for that PBX appear.
If your telephone provider supports seven-digit
dialing, you can save your local area code so it
does not display in the Caller ID list. See “Seven-
Digit Dialing” on page 67 for more information.
Talking Caller ID (Base Only)
The Talking Caller ID feature is a Caller ID that talks and verbally
announces from the base the name of incoming callers when you
receive a call. To use this feature, you must subscribe to Caller ID
service from your telephone company and the Talking Caller ID
feature must be enabled. The default setting is ON (enabled).
To enable/disable Talking Caller ID feature, follow these steps:
1. Press
MENU/SELECT.
2. Select the SYSTEM SETUP menu.
3. Select the BASE menu, and then the CID ANNOUNCE
submenu.
4. Move the cursor to select ON or OFF.
