3.8.1 How Caller ID is displayed

The calling party’s name or telephone number 
will be displayed after the 1st ring, then the 
handset and base unit will announce the 
displayed name (example: “Call from SAM LEE”
after the 2nd ring (Talking Caller ID feature, 
page 43)
. You then have the option of whether or 
not to answer the call.
The unit will automatically store caller 
information (name, telephone number, date and 
time of the call, the number of times called) from 
the 30 most recent callers. Caller information is 
stored by the most recent to the oldest call. 
When the 31st call is received, the oldest call is 
deleted.
Caller information can be viewed on the display 
one item at a time (page 44) or confirmed by 
printing the Caller ID list (page 111).
