Using Caller ID service
Important:
L
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To 
use Caller ID features, you must 
subscribe to a Caller ID service. 
Contact your service provider/
telephone company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, 
the caller’s name and phone number are 
displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers 
is logged in the caller list from the most 
recent call to the oldest.
L
If the unit cannot receive caller 
information, the following is displayed:
– “Out of area”: The caller dials 
from an area which does not 
provide a Caller ID service.
– “Private caller”: The caller 
requests not to send caller 
information.
– “Long distance”: The caller 
makes a long distance call.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX 
system, caller information may not be 
properly received. Contact your PBX 
supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it 
as a missed call. The display shows 
“Missed call”. This lets you know if 
you should view the caller list to see who 
called while you were away.
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and 
it matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is displayed and logged in 
the caller list.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling 
without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:
– subscribe to a Caller ID service of 
your service provider/telephone 
company.
– turn this feature on (page 23).
When caller information is received, the 
handsets and base unit announce the 
caller’s name or phone number received 
from your service provider/telephone 
company following every ring.
The unit announces in English only.
L
Name pronunciation may vary. This 
feature may not pronounce all names 
correctly.
L
Caller ID service has a limit of how 
many characters can be displayed. If 
the caller’s name is too long, the 
handset may not be able to display or 
announce the entire name.
L
The announcement is heard at the 
same level as the ringer volume (page 
15,
 23).
L
If you turn on the answering system 
and set the number of rings “2” (page 
35)
, the unit does not announce the 
caller information. If “Toll saver” is 
selected and there is a new message, 
the unit does not announce the caller 
information.
L
When you receive a call while on the 
phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not 
announced even if you subscribe to 
both Caller ID and Call Waiting with 
Caller ID services.
Phonebook name announcement
When caller information is received and 
it matches a phone number stored in the 
phonebook, the stored name in the 
phonebook is announced.
