Caller ID operation
Shared caller ID log
The caller ID log is stored in the telephone base,
and is shared by all handsets. Changes made on
any handset will apply to all.
NOTE: Only one handset can review the directory or call
log at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the call log,
NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME will be displayed on the screen.
How caller ID works
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by
your local telephone company, information about
each caller will usually be displayed between the
first and second ring.
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is
stored in the call log. You can review the call log
to find out who has called, return the call, or copy
the caller’s name and number into the directory.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted
to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears
on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and
the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both tel-
ephone companies use compatible equipment.
