Changing the Settings

Receiving Calls

When the telephone connected to the Caller ID

rings, new call information appears between the first

and second ring. If you answer before the second

ring, the Caller ID will not display any information.

When a call is received, the Caller ID displays a

call record, which can include, if available, the

name of the caller, the caller’s telephone number,

and the time that the call was placed. The

amount of information displayed depends on the

signal sent by your phone company.

If the call is from outside your phone company’s

area, some of the caller’s information may not be

available and

UNKNOWN NAME

and/or no num-

ber may be displayed.

The NEW Call Indicator Light will flash for about

15 seconds after a new call is received.

If the caller’s name or number is blocked by the

caller, that information will not be displayed.

Reviewing Calls

This Caller ID automatically stores the call informa-

tion from the last 90 calls. If you have not received

any new calls, the Caller ID will display the date,

time, and number of total calls, if any. If you have re-

ceived new calls, the screen will display the appro-

priate number (ex:

03 NEW CALLS

1. To review your new calls, press repeatedly.

2. To review your old calls, press

repeatedly.

When you reach the end or top of the list,

press the opposite direction key to cycle back

through your call records.

✓ About Message Waiting

Your Caller ID can alert you to check your

phones messages if you have a voice mail

service from your phone company that offers

Caller ID signalling. For more information

about these services, contact your phone com-

pany. When you have a new message, the

phone company will send a signal to your

Caller ID that causes the MSG light to blink

and a marker to appear on the display the next

time you receive a call. After your messages

are reviewed, the phone company sends a

signal to clear the display and stop the MSG

light from blinking.

✓ About Repeat Calls

Your Caller ID will save information from the

same name and/or number, but will use only

one call record to store the information. Each

time a call is received from the same name

and/or number, the time and date of the call

record is updated and a REP marker appears

near the time.

✓ About Toll Calls

If your phone company’s service supports it,

your Caller ID will display a toll call marker ($)

to indicate that the call received is a toll call.
