Calls Log

Caller ID - Call Waiting ID

Your i 5853 is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling before you
answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in conjunc-
tion with a Call Waiting alert signal (Call Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the
Caller ID data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue
with your current conversation.
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service providers.
You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features. If you do not
subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use your i 5853 and the other features it
offers.
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every call
you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and/or phone
number from being sent.

Reviewing Caller ID from the Base

As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID records are
received, your Base display will alert you to the new
Caller ID records, for example:
The number of new calls displayed on each system Handset and Base may not be the same.
If, for example, you answer a call on a Handset, the Handset will not count the Caller ID
information for that call as new. However, the Base displays will consider it a new call, and add
it to the NEW CALLS total.
After you review all new Caller ID records, the NEW CALLS status will be turned off.
From the idle (OFF) mode, press MENU, highlight
the CALLS LOG option, then press OK. The Caller
ID information of the most recently received call will
be displayed. For example:
To scroll to other records, use the up and down
NavKeys.
