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 the previous page).
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.
If you save a blocked number in the caller ID log to the directory, the original name from the caller ID information will be
saved.
