Caller ID

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows
the subscriber to see a display of the caller's
phone number or name as the telephone
rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You
can respond quickly to calls you missed,
because Caller IDs are received and stored in
your machine memory.
Note
To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the
Caller ID service at your local telephone
company, if available.
Advantages of Caller ID
For Business
All businesses profit from a quicker response
to customer calls. Businesses that provide
mail order services, money-lending services
or provide confidential information, can
protect themselves from false orders or
acceptance of false identification.
At Home
Residential customers can protect
themselves from unwanted calls.

The Caller ID Appears on the Display
When Your Telephone Rings
As your telephone rings, the display shows
you the caller's phone number or name if the
name has stored in the Speed-Dial. Once you
answer the call, the caller's ID disappears.
You will see up to the first 16 characters of the
number on the display.
Note
• If ID Unknown appears on the display, it
means that the call came from outside
your caller ID service area or a public

phone.
• If ID Withheld appears on the display, it
means the caller intentionally blocked the
transmission of his/her ID.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your
Machine Memory
The machine can store a maximum of the last
30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along
with the time and date of reception. The 31st
call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.
The Caller ID information stored in the
memory can be used for the following.
Printing the Caller ID List.
You can review calls you received by
checking the Caller IDs in memory. This
report will list the Date, Time, Phone
Number (Caller ID) name, and type of Call
