How caller ID works

If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service provider,
information about each caller will show after the first or second ring.
The call is not reviewed.
The telephone detects an error
from the incoming caller ID.
The time and date of the call, the caller's name and telephone number show if
sent by the caller's telephone service provider. Other messages may appear
on screen. See Call log screen display messages on page 39 for more
information.
Caller ID information displays on the screen when the telephone rings, until
the caller hangs up, or until the call is answered at another extension, or until
the call is disconnected.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this telephone will reset the time and date
automatically each time new call information is received. You can set the time
and date manually if desired (see Time and date on page 15).
• Due to regional service differences, the caller ID information may not be
available for every incoming call. In addition, the callers may intentionally
block their names and/or telephone numbers.
• If COMBINED is selected in the REPEATED CALLS menu (page 16) and
the caller has called more than once, the REP icon will show with the entry.
