Notes on calling line display (CLIP)
By default, the number of the caller is shown in the
display of your Gigaset telephone. You do not have to
make any other settings on your Gigaset telephone.
However, if the caller's number is not displayed, this
can be due to the following:
u You have not ordered CLIP from your network pro-
vider or
u Your telephone is connected via a PABX or a router
with an integrated PABX (gateway) that does not

Is your telephone connected via a PABX/gateway?
You can establish this by checking for an additional
device connected between your telephone and
house connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway etc. In most
cases, simply resetting this device will remedy the
situation:
¤ Briefly disconnect the mains plug of your PABX.
Re-insert the plug and wait for the device to
restart.
If the caller number is still not displayed:
t
¤ Check the CLIP settings of your PABX and activate
this function if necessary. In the user guide for the
device, search for the term "CLIP" (or an alternative
term such as "calling line identification", "phone
number transmission", "caller ID", etc.). If neces-
sary, contact the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that
your network provider does not provide the CLIP
service for this number.
Have you ordered the calling line display service
from your network provider?
¤ Check whether your provider supports calling line
display (CLIP) and that the function has been acti-
vated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.
