Caller ID 7
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. Call your telephone
company for details. This service shows the
telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
You can use a number in the Caller ID History
to make a phone call, send a fax, add it to
Speed Dial, or delete it from the history. (See
Caller ID history on page 61.)
After a few rings, the LCD shows the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you answer a call, the Caller
ID information disappears from the LCD, but
the call information stays stored in the Caller
ID memory.
You can see the first 16 characters of the
number (or name).
The Unavailable message means the
call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
The PrivateCall message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See Printing the
Caller ID List on page 54.)
Note
• This feature may not be available in
certain areas of the USA and Canada.
• The Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local telephone
company to find out about the kind of
service available in your area.
Setting up your area code (USA only) 7
When returning calls from the caller ID history
your machine will automatically dial "1" plus
the area code for all calls. If your local dialing
plan requires that the “1” not be used for calls
within your area code enter your area code in
this setting. With the area code setting, calls
returned from the caller ID history to your
area code will be dialed using 10 digits (area
code + 7-digit number). If your dialing plan
does not follow the standard 1 + area code +
7-digit number dialing system for calling
outside your area code, you may experience
problems returning calls automatically from
the caller ID history. If this is not the
procedure followed by your dialing plan, you
will not be able to return calls automatically.
