When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and second ring. The Caller ID
information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and
decide whether or not to answer the call.
Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone's Caller ID memory stores the data for the 40 most
recent calls you received so you can see who called while you were unavailable. When the 1st call is received,
the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review show as NEW in the
display. Calls that have not been previously reviewed but were received from the same number more than once
show as REPT in the display.
