VTech 912 Telephone User Manual


 
19
Your
VTech 912 ADLc
cordless
telephone is capable of displaying the
name and number of the person calling,
before you answer the phone.
The unit is designed to store and
display specific information provided by
your local telephone company to
subscribers of the “Caller Information
and Identification Service” (Caller ID).
When Caller ID service is active, your
telephone company transmits certain
information between the first and
second ring of each call. This
information includes the telephone
number and name of the caller as well
as the date and time of the call.
For example:
NUMBER ONLY:
NAME AND NUMBER:
This information is immediately
displayed on the unit’s LCD screen,
enabling you to identify the calling party
without having to answer the call.
Simultaneously, this information is
stored in memory for review at a later
time.
You must be in an area where Caller
ID service is available and you must
subscribe to this service to use this
feature.
CALLER ID
Caller ID service is based a relatively
new technology. In some areas, Caller
ID service is not fully supported, or not
offered at all. Caller ID may not work
properly in some areas due to local
telephone company limitations and/or
equipment incompatibility.
Caller ID LCD and Icons
Caller ID information is displayed on
the Base LCD module. Each ICON has
a specific function.
New Call Icon (NEW CALL)
When activated, this icon alerts the
users that new calls have been
received. The NEW CALL icon will
remain on until all new calls are
reviewed.
Call Counter (CALL#)
This two digit counter indicates the
position of CID record relative to other
records stored in CID memory.
Repeat Counter (RPT#)
This digit counter is used to indicate
when a specific call has been received
more than once. If a call had been
received twice, the RPT# counter
would show a 1. The repeat counter is
only active during Caller ID review
when a repeat call comes in.
