When you receive a call, the caller's number will be 
displayed on your handset; the caller's name will be 
displayed if it is saved in the directory .
Prerequisites: 

1

You have asked your network provider for the call-
er's number (CLIP) to be displayed on your hand-
set screen.

2

The caller has asked the network provider for his 
number to be identified (CLI).

In the display you will see 

 if you have not 

requested Calling Line Identification, 

 if the 

caller has withheld CLI or 

 if CLI has not 

been requested.

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 CLIP from your network pro-

vider or

u Your telephone is connected via a PABX or a router 

with an integrated PABX (gateway) that does not 
transmit all information.

Is your telephone connected via a PABX/gateway? 
You can establish this by checking for an additional 
device connected between your telephone and 
house connection, e.g., a PABX, gateway etc. In most 
cases, simply resetting this device will remedy the 
situation:
¤ Briefly disconnect the mains plug of your PABX. 

Re-insert the plug and wait for the device to 
restart.

If the caller number is still not displayed: 
¤ Check the CLIP settings of your PABX and activate 

this function if necessary. In the user guide for the 
device, search for the term "CLIP" (or an alternative 
term such as "calling line identification", "phone 
number transmission", "caller ID", etc.). If neces-
sary, contact the device manufacturer. 

If this does not resolve the problem, it is possible that 
your network provider does not provide the CLIP 
service for this number.

Have you ordered the calling line display service 
from your network provider?  
¤ Check whether your provider supports calling line 

display (CLIP) and that the function has been acti-
vated for you. If necessary, contact your provider.
