3.9.1 How Caller ID is displayed
The calling party’s name or telephone number, 
and the called line will be displayed after the 1st 
ring. 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 (base unit)/50 (handset) most recent 
callers for both lines combined. 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 45) or confirmed by 
printing the Caller ID list (page 113).
L
When caller information is received and it 
matches a telephone number stored in the 
unit’s phone book, 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.
L
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.
L
The name display service may not be 
available in some areas. For further 
information, please contact your telephone 
company.
L
If the handset has lost communication with 
the base unit when a call is received, caller 
information will not be recorded in the 
handset.
L
If both lines receive calls at the same time, 
each caller’s information will be displayed 
alternately.
To confirm caller information using the 
Caller ID list (Base unit only)
To print manually, see page 113.
To print automatically after every 30 new 
calls, activate feature #26 (page 81).
Call Waiting Caller ID feature
If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call 
Waiting services, when a second call is received 
on the same line during a conversation, you will 
hear a call-waiting tone and the display will show 
the second caller’s information.
Press {FLASH/CALL WAIT} to answer the 
second call.
L
The first call is put on hold and you can 
answer the second call.

lines,
