Caller ID service from your phone
This unit is compatible with the Caller ID service offered by your local telephone
company. To use this feature, you must subscribe to the Caller ID service.
How Caller ID is displayed
The calling party's name or telephone number will be displayed after the first ring.
You then have the option of whether or not to answer the call depending on the caller.
The unit will automatically store the caller information (name, telephone number and the time of
the call). You can view the caller information (p. 34, 35) and print the caller ID list (p. 90).
Note:
If the unit is connected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system, you may not receive the caller
information. Consult your PBX supplier.

Note for Australian users:
The KX-FC175AL will not display the name from the Directory. Telstra and Optus do not currently transmit
names with the Caller ID.
Note for New Zealand users:
Telecom New Zealand does not currently send a NAME for Caller ID.
Your telephone service provider may charge you for a local call when it is dialled with an area code prefix.
If the charge for local call is unacceptable, only the 7-digits of the local number should be dialled from
your telephone. Do not dial the ''0'' prefix or the area code digit.
To confirm caller information using the Caller ID
The unit will store information for the most recent 30 callers.
— To print manually, see page 90.
— To print automatically after every 30 new calls, activate feature #26 (p. 72).
Visual Call Waiting (Call Waiting ID) Service (For Australian users only)
If you hear a call-waiting tone during a conversation, the display will show the second caller's information.
Press è to answer the second call.
The first call is put on hold and you can answer the second call.
To return to the first caller, press è again.
Note:
The second caller's information will not be displayed when:
— the answering system is recording an incoming message,
— an extension telephone on the same line is in use, or
— you are sending or receiving a fax document.
Please contact your telephone company for details and availability of this service in your area.
