CID Error Codes

Various Caller ID error messages may appear on the display. Refer to the
Display Messages section of this User's Guide for more information.

Receiving CID Records

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 Caller ID 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 41st 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 on the display.

Reviewing CID Records

As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how
many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:
1. Make sure the phone is OFF (not in talk mode).
2. Press the () button to review the newest CID record.
3. Press the () button to review the oldest CID record first.
As you review CID records, the display shows you the following information
for each call:
• The telephone number of the caller.
• The number of the call, with regard to the order received.
• The name of the caller, if this service is available in your area.
• Time and date the call was received.
• NEW appears for all calls that have not been previously reviewed.
• REPEAT shows on the display for a call that has not been previously
reviewed but is received from the same number more than once.
NOTE: Check with your local phone company regarding name service
availability.
