About Caller Identification

This product is designed to store and display information about incoming
telephone calls. It must be used with Caller Identification service provided
by your local telephone company; there is a fee for this service, and it may
not be available in all areas. This product can provide information only if
both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller Identification service,
and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
When you use this product with Caller ID service, you can see who's
calling before you answer the phone. And if you subscribe to Call Waiting
with Caller Identification, you can see who's trying to reach you even
when you're on another call. Your telephone company must provide Caller
ID with Call Waiting (Type II service) for this feature to work. (If you
subscribe to these two features separately, you may not receive Caller ID
with Call Waiting. Check with your local phone company.) The unit
keeps a record of the names and numbers of the last 50 calls, whether
you answer the phone or not.
When the first call is received, the unit sets the current time and date
automatically (you cannot set them), and resets them each time a new call
comes in. (The time and date line remain blank until the first call comes in.)
The unit automatically adjusts for daylight savings time. When not in use,
the unit displays the current date/time, number of new calls received since
the last review of memory, and number of reviewed calls in call history.
For each call that comes in, the screen displays the following information
between the first and second rings:
• Your caller's name (15 letters are sent by your telephone company);
• The caller's area code and telephone number (the area code is not
displayed if it is programmed as the Home Area Code);
• The time and date of the call; and
• The position of the call in memory.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will
not be in the call history.
NOTE: If the caller's number is flashing on the screen, there is an error
in the transmission.
