Caller IDAbout caller ID

This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone serviceproviders. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.

Information about caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

X You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).X You have only caller ID, or only call waiting service. X You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.There may be fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.

This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID services and if bothtelephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and dateare sent by the telephone service provider along with the call information.

The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

About home area codeSee Home area code on page 19 to determine if you should enter your area code. Entering the area code changes how numbers are displayed in the caller ID log and how to return a call from the caller ID log (see View dialing options on page 44).

Caller IDCaller ID logHow caller ID log worksThe telephone stores caller ID information about the last 30 incoming calls in the telephone base. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the telephone number and 15 characters for the name. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made to any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID log.NOTE: The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. The callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing caller ID information on page 47).

Memory matchIf the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is what you entered into your directory.

Chris 888-883-2445ECO

10:30PM

11/20

NOTE: The number shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For example, if the telephone service provider includes the area code but the number in your directory does not, the name appears as delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering systemAnswering system overviewAnswering system and voicemail indicatorsYour telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left on your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.X If XX new messages displays on the handset and the message window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages recorded on the built-in answering system. To listen to your message(s), press MENU/SELECT twice on the handset (page 65) or press PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 65).X If and New voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider. To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the voicemail service.Using the answering system and voicemail togetherYou can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers, as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.If you have voicemail provided by your telephone service provider, we recommend setting your answering system to answer calls at least 2 rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after 6 rings, set your answering system to answer after 4 rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow 6 seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.61

Answering systemAnswering system overviewMessage capacity The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. The maximum recording time (including message, announcement and memo) is 22 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.

If the answering system has less than 3 minutes of recording time left, “Less than 3 minutes to record” is announced before the message playback and Rec mem low appears on the handset screen. If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The number of messages and F flash, alternatively, in the message window, and Rec mem full appears on the handset screen. You must delete some messages before recording new ones. Voice prompts The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup procedures on your handsets, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing announcements.
