how caller ID history (call log) works

The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 99 incoming calls.
Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the
oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not
show in the caller ID history.
Review the caller ID history to determine who called, return the call, or copy
the caller's name and number into your directory or speed dial memory.
LX: XX NEw CALLS appears if there are new call history entries that have
not been reviewed on that line (X is the line number and XX is the number of
missed calls). CALL hISToRy EMPTy appears if there are no records in the
call log.
The time and date of the call and the caller's name and telephone number
are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until
the caller hangs up, or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, the time and date are automatically reset
with the incoming call. You can also set the time and date manually
(see Set date and time on page 14).

NOTES:
• The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing
caller ID information on page 41).
• Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the telephone number and 16 characters for the
name. If the telephone number has more than 16 digits, only the last 16 digits appear. If the
name has more than 16 characters, only the first 16 characters appear.
