Using Caller ID service
Important:
L
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use 
Caller ID features (such as displaying 
caller phone numbers), you must 
subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult 
your service provider for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the caller’s 
phone number can be displayed.
L
Phone numbers of the last 50 different 
callers will be logged in the caller list.
L
When caller information is received and it 
matches a phone number stored in the 
unit’s phonebook:
– The stored name will be displayed and 
logged in the caller list.
– The handset will use the display colour 
and ringtone assigned to the caller’s 
category.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX system, 
you may not receive the caller information.
L
When the caller dialled from an area 
which does not provide Caller ID service, 
“Out of Area” will be displayed.
L
When the caller requested not to send 
caller information, either no information or 
“Private Caller” will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the 
call as a missed call. y is shown on the 
display. When the screen saver mode (page 
13) i
s cancelled, the number of missed calls 
is displayed next to y. This lets you know if 
you should view the caller list to see who 
called while you were out.
Call waiting and Caller ID 
compatible
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your 
handset displays the second caller’s 
information while talking. After you hear a 
call-waiting tone, the caller’s phone number 
will be displayed.
You can answer the second call, keeping the 
first call on hold. Follow Telstra or your 
service provider instructions using {R}.
L
If the phone number is stored in the 
phonebook with its name, the caller’s 
name will also be displayed.
L
Please contact Telstra or your service 
provider for details and availability in your 
area.
Using Caller ID type II
When you receive a second call during a 
conversation, you will hear a signal tone 
following the call waiting tone and the 
conversation will be interrupted or 
muted for a short period of time.
 This is 
not the fault of the product as these events 
are normal.
Note:
L
The tones are generated by the service 
provider.
Category features for Caller ID 
subscribers
Categories can help you identify who is 
calling by using different ringtones and 
display colours for different categories of 
callers. When adding an entry to the 
phonebook you can assign it to the desired 
category (page 18). When a call is received 
from a caller assigned to a category, the 
category’s display colour and ringtone you 
select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category. 
If you select “Ext. Ringtone”, the unit 
will use the external ringtone you set on 
page 22 when calls from this category are 
received. The default setting is “Ext. 
Ringtone”
