Caller Id - Brother MFC-640CW User Manual

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber
service offered by many local telephone companies. This
service displays the telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller
(and name, if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID
information disappears from the LCD, but the call information
remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
■
You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).
■
Out of Area display means call originated outside your Caller
ID service area.
■
Private Call display means the caller has intentionally
blocked transmission of information.
You can print a list of Caller ID information received by your machine.
(See Printing Caller ID List on page A-6.)
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local
telephone company to determine the kind of service available in your
area.
