automatically. Unless you have a TAD or

Caller ID
Note
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. This service displays
the telephone number, or name if it is
available, of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you pick up the external
phone’s handset, the Caller ID information
disappears from the LCD, but the call
information remains stored in the Caller ID
memory.
■ You will see the first 16 characters of the
number (or name).
■ Out of Area display means call
originated outside your Caller ID service
area.
■ Private Call display means the caller
has intentionally blocked transmission of
information.
You can print a list of Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See Printing
Caller ID List on page 7-9.)
Caller ID service varies with different carriers.
Call your local telephone company to
determine the kind of service available in your
area.
