Caller ID Operation
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from
your phone company, the phone company
sends information about the call, as well as
the time and date, between the first and sec-
ond rings of every call you receive. This in-
formation appears after the second ring on
both the handset's and the base's displays.
The display also shows if caller information is
unavailable or if the name and number were
blocked by the caller (see “Caller ID Messag-
es” on Page 23).
If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller
ID, you will hear a tone through the handset
when a call comes in, then the Caller ID
record appears. If you want to answer the in-
coming call, press
FLASH
. To resume the
previous phone conversation, press
FLASH
again.
The handset has Caller ID memory to store
the information received for up to 50 Caller
ID records for later review. It stores the infor-
mation even when you answer the call using
the speakerphone.
If the Caller ID memory becomes full, any
new call replaces the oldest call's record.
The base's NEW CALL indicator also flashes
when the phone receives a call with Caller ID
information and you have not yet reviewed it.
Use the handset's Caller ID memory to re-
view the information about the calls received.

line.
