Using Caller ID service

Important:
L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying
caller phone numbers), you must
subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult
your service provider for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the caller's
phone number can be displayed.
L Phone numbers of the last 50 different
callers will be logged in the caller list.
L While listening to a message recorded by
the answering system using the handset,
you can call back the caller without having
to dial the phone number (page 53).
L When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
unit's phonebook:
– The stored name will be displayed and
logged in the caller list.
– The handset will use the ringtone
assigned to the caller's category.
– Both the base unit and handset will
announce the audible call recording you
made.
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
you may not receive the caller information.
L When the caller dialled from an area
which does not provide Caller ID service,
"Out of Area" will be displayed.
L When the caller requested not to send
caller information, either no information or
"Private Caller" will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the
call as a missed call. The number of missed
calls is shown on the display. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to see
who called while you were out.

Caller ID Service

Call waiting and Caller ID
compatible
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your
handset displays the second caller's
information while talking. After you hear a
call-waiting tone, the caller's phone number
will be displayed.
You can answer the second call, keeping the
first call on hold. Follow Telstra or your
service provider instructions using {R}.
L If the phone number is stored in the
phonebook with its name, the caller's
name will also be displayed.
L Please contact Telstra or your service
provider for details and availability in your
area.
Using Caller ID type II
When you receive a second call during a
conversation, you will hear a signal tone
following the call waiting tone and the
conversation will be interrupted or
muted for a short period of time. This is
not the fault of the product as these events
are normal.
Note:
L The tones are generated by the service
provider.
Category features for handset
phonebook
Categories can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringtones for
different categories of callers. When adding
an entry to the handset phonebook you can
assign it to the desired category (page 22).
When a call is received from a caller
assigned to a category, the category's
ringtone you select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category.
If you select "Ext. Ringtone", the unit
will use the external ringtone you set on
