NOTES:
You may need to change how a caller ID number is dialed if the entry does not appear in the
correct format. Caller ID numbers may appear with an area code that is not necessary for local
calls, or without a 1 that is necessary for long distance calls (see View dialing options on
page 73).
If the caller’s name you received from the telephone service provider is all in capital letters, the
first letter of every word remains a capital letter, while other letters become lower case. However,
the next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, “D’”, “C’” or “O’”, is kept as a capital letter. For
example, the “D” in “MacDonald” is kept as a capital letter. Another exception is that “VAN DER”
will be changed to “Van der”.
If the telephone number from the caller ID information has already been saved in the directory
under a different name, the new name will overwrite the old one.
