Caller ID
If you subscribe to caller ID service,
information about each caller will
appear after the first or second ring. If
you answer a call before the caller’s
information appear on the screen, it will
not be saved in the caller ID log.
The caller ID log stores up to 50 entries.
Each entry has up to 24 digits for the
phone number and 15 characters for the
name.
If the phone number has more than 15
digits, only the last 15 digits appear. If
the name has more than 15 characters,
only the first 15 characters are shown
and saved in the caller ID log.
Entries appear in reverse chronological
order. When the caller ID log is full, the
oldest entry is deleted to make room for
new incoming call information.
Caller ID log entries are shared by all
system devices. Any modifications made
on one device apply to all.
NOTES
Only one system device can review the
caller ID log at a time. If a system device
tries to enter the caller ID log while another
system device is already in it, its screen
displays Not available.
This product can provide information
only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service and if
both telephone service providers use
compatible equipment. The time and
date are sent by your telephone service
provider along with the call information.
