3.8 Caller ID service
This unit is compatible with the Caller ID
service offered by your local telephone
company. To use this unit’s Caller ID
features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID
service.
Make sure the following ring settings are set
to 2 or more rings beforehand.

3.8.1 How Caller ID is displayed
and announced
The calling party’s name or telephone number
will be displayed after the 1st ring, then the
handset and base unit will announce the
displayed name (example: “Call from SAM LEE”)
after the 2nd ring (Talking Caller ID feature,
page 43). You then have the option of whether or
not to answer the call.
The unit will automatically store caller
information (name, telephone number, date and
time of the call, the number of times called) from
the 30 most recent callers. Caller information is
stored by the most recent to the oldest call.
When the 31st call is received, the oldest call is
deleted.
Caller information can be viewed on the display
one item at a time (page 44) or confirmed by
printing the Caller ID list (page 111).
L If the unit is connected to a PBX (Private
Branch Exchange) system, caller information
may not be received properly. Consult your
PBX supplier.
L If the unit cannot receive caller information,
the following will be displayed:
“OUT OF AREA”: The caller dialed from an
area which does not provide Caller ID
service.
“PRIVATE CALLER”: The caller requested
not to send caller information.
“LONG DISTANCE”: The caller made a long
distance call.
L The name display service may not be
available in some areas. For further
information, please contact your telephone
company.
L If the handset has lost communication with
the base unit when a call is received, caller
information will not be recorded in the
handset.
To confirm caller information using the
Caller ID list (Base unit only)
– To print manually, see page 111.
– To print automatically after every 30 new
calls, activate feature #26 (page 77).
Call Waiting Caller ID feature
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call
Waiting services, when a second call is received
during a conversation, you will hear a call-waiting
tone and the display will show the second caller’s
information.
Press {FLASH/CALL WAIT} to answer the
second call.
L The first call is put on hold and you can
answer the second call.
L To return to the first caller, press
{FLASH/CALL WAIT} again.
Note:
L The second caller’s information will not be
displayed when:
– the first call is placed on hold.
– the answering machine is recording an
incoming message,
– an extension telephone on the same line
is in use, or
– you are sending or receiving a fax
document.
L Please contact your telephone company for
details and availability of this service in your
area.

from long distance”. If a call is received from
an area where name display service is not
available, “Number available” will be
announced and the caller’s number will be
displayed.
