Notes on phone number
display (Caller ID)
By default, the number of the caller is shown
in the display of your Gigaset telephone. You
do not have to make any other settings on
your Gigaset telephone.
However, if the caller's number is not
displayed, this can be due to the
following:
u You have not ordered Caller ID from your
network provider
u Your telephone is connected via a PABX
or a router with an integrated PABX (gate-
way) that does not transmit all informa-
tion.
Is your telephone connected via a
PABX/gateway?
You can establish this by checking for an
additional device connected between your
telephone and home connection, e.g., a
PABX, gateway etc. In most cases, simply
resetting this device will remedy the situa-
tion:
¤ Briefly disconnect the PABX power plug.
Re-insert the plug and wait for the device
to restart.
If the caller number is still not
displayed:
¤ Check the phone number display set-
tings of your PABX and activate this func-
tion if necessary. In the user manual for
the device, search for the term "CID" (or
an alternative term such as "calling line
identification", "phone number transmis-
sion", "caller ID" etc.). If necessary, contact
the device manufacturer.
If this does not resolve the problem, it is pos-
sible that your network provider does not
provide the Caller ID service for this number.
