This feature is not available for Taiwan and some countries.
For Australia and New Zealand
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.
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.
How Does the Caller ID Work?
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 been
stored in the Address Book. Once you answer the call, the caller's ID disappears.
• If [ID Unknown] appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID
service area or a public phone. (Depends on network function.)
• If [ID Withheld] appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of
his/her ID. (Depends on network function.)
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 (Comment) if available.
For Singapore and Hong Kong
The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local phone
companies. Call your telephone company for details. This service provides you, by means of the screen display,
the telephone number (or name) of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the screen displays the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available). Once you
answer the call, the Caller ID information disappears from the screen, but the call information remains stored in
the Caller ID memory.
• The [ID Unknown] message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.
• The [ID Withheld] message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of Caller ID
information.
