Caller ID Operation

How Caller ID works
*
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your
local phone company, information about each caller will
be displayed at both the cordless handset and the tele-
phone base after the first or second ring.
With most incoming calls, the screen shows the name
of the caller (up to 15 alphanumeric characters includ-
ing spaces) in the top row, and the caller's telephone
number, including the area code (up to 11 digits including
area code) in the second row. The third row shows the
date and time of the call, the total number of Caller ID
entries already stored in the handset memory, as well as
the low-battery icon if the battery is low. The low bat-
tery icon will be displayed if the battery on the handset
is low.
*
If the caller has made 2 or more consecutive calls, the
repeat tag (*) will be displayed in the top right corner of
the screen.
Caller ID and Call Waiting Functions
There may be a charge for the caller ID and call waiting
services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone company if:
• you have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as sepa-
rate services (you may need combined service),
• you have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting
service, or
• you currently do not have Caller ID or Call Waiting
services.
You can use this telephone with regular Caller ID ser-
vice, and you can use its other features without subscrib-
ing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call
Waiting service. There may be fees for these services,
and they may not be available in all areas.
Caller ID features will work only if both you and the
caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both
telephone companies use compatible equipment.
