About caller ID
How caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 99 incoming calls. 
Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the 
oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not 
show in the caller ID history.
Review the caller ID history to determine who called, return the call, or copy 
the caller’s name and number into your directory or speed dial memory.
LX: XX NEW CALLS appears if there are new call history entries that have 
not been reviewed on that line (X is the line number and XX is the number of 
missed calls). CALL HISTORY EMPTY appears if there are no records in the 
call log.
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone number 
are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until 
the caller hangs up, or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, the time and date are automatically reset 
with the incoming call. You can also set the time and date manually  
(see Set date and time on page 14).
NOTES: 
The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might 
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing 
caller ID information on page 41).
Each entry can have up to 24 digits for the telephone number and 16 characters for the 
name. If the telephone number has more than 16 digits, only the last 16 digits appear. If the 
name has more than 16 characters, only the first 16 characters appear.
