Caller ID is not shown
Contact your telecommunications company to verify that your telephone line is subscribed to the caller ID
service.
If your region supports multiple caller ID patterns, you may have to change the default setting. There are
two settings available: FSK (pattern 1) and DTMF (pattern 2). The availability of these settings by way of the
Fax menu depends on whether your country or region supports multiple caller ID patterns. Contact your
telecommunications company to determine which pattern or switch setting to use.
