7.1.1 How Caller ID is displayed
The calling party’s name or telephone number will be 
displayed after the 1st ring. You have the option of 
whether or not to answer the call.
The unit will automatically store caller information 
(name, telephone number and date and time of the call) 
from the 30 most recent calls. It is possible to view caller 
information one at a time on the display (page 45) or 
print the entire Caller ID list (page 84).
L
When caller information is received and it matches a 
telephone number stored in the unit’s one-touch dial 
or navigator directory, the stored name will be 
displayed.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX (Private Branch 
Exchange) system, caller information may not be 
received properly. Consult your PBX supplier.

If the unit cannot receive caller information, the 
following will be displayed:
OUT OF AREA”: The caller dialed from an area 
which does not provide Caller ID service.
PRIVATE CALLER”: The caller requested not to 
send caller information.
LONG DISTANCE”: The caller made a long distance 
call.
