VTech i 5808 Manuel D’Utilisation

31

Your i 5871 is capable of displaying the number of the party calling before you answer the
phone (caller ID). It is also capable of displaying caller ID information in conjunction with a
call waiting alert signal (call waiting caller ID). With call waiting caller ID, the caller ID data
is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your
current conversation.

These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service
providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features.
If you do not subscribe to caller ID services, you can still use your i 5871 and the other
features it offers. Due to regional incompatibilities, caller ID information may not be
available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally
block their name and/or phone number from being sent.

As new caller ID/call waiting ID records are  received, your base display will alert you to
the new caller ID records, for example:

The number of new calls displayed on each
system handset and base may not be the same.
If, for example, you answer a call on a handset,
the handset will not count the caller ID  information
for that call as new. However, the base displays
will consider it a new call, and add it to the NEW
CALLS total.

After you review a new caller ID records, the
NEW CALLS status will be turned off.

From the idle (off) mode, press MENU, highlight
the CALL LOG option, then press SELECT. The
caller ID information of the most recently received
call will be displayed.

To scroll to other records, use the 

 or 

softkeys.
