4.6.1 How Caller ID is displayed
When an outside call is received, the calling 
party’s telephone number or name will be 
displayed. You then have the option of whether 
or not to answer the call.
The unit will automatically store caller 
information (telephone number, name, date and 
time of the call) of the last 30 (base unit)/50 
(handset) callers. Caller information is stored by 
the most recent to the oldest call. When the 31st 
(base unit)/51st (handset) call is received, the 
oldest call is deleted.
Caller information can be viewed on the display 
one item at a time (page 37) or confirmed by 
printing the Caller ID list (page 105).
Note:
L
When caller information is received and it 
matches a telephone number stored in the 
unit’s phonebook:
The stored name will be displayed and 
logged.
The handset will use the ring tone 
assigned to the caller’s category.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX (Private 
Branch Exchange) system, caller information 
may not be received properly. Consult your 
PBX supplier.
L
If the unit cannot receive caller information, 
the following will be displayed:
OUT OF AREA”: The caller dialled from an 
area which does not provide Caller ID 
service.
PRIVATE CALLER”: The caller requested 
not to send caller information.
To confirm caller information by printing 
the Caller ID list
To print manually, see page 105.
To print automatically after every 30 new 
calls, activate feature #26 (page 69).
Note:
L
Unviewed calls are listed as new.
Call Waiting Caller ID (Handset only)
This is a service of your service provider and will 
only operate if you have subscribed to this 
service. When you hear a call waiting tone 
during a conversation, the display will show the 
second caller’s information. You can answer the 
second call, keeping the first call on hold. Please 
consult your service provider for details of this 
service.
Note:

The second caller’s information will not be 
displayed when:
the base unit is in use, or
another telephone on the same line is in use.
Category features for handset phonebook
Categories can help you identify who is calling 
by using different ring tones for different 
categories of callers.

you can assign it to the desired category (page 
32). W
hen a call is received from a caller 
assigned to a category, the category’s ring tone 
you select is used.
Changing category ring tones
You can select a ring tone for each category. If 
you select
