If your Panasonic Answering Machine handset isn't displaying the caller's name or number, it could be due to several reasons. First, you may not have subscribed to Caller ID service, so contact your telephone company.

The name display service may not be available in your area. Other telephone equipment may be interfering. The caller may have requested not to send caller information or if a call is being transferred. Generally caller information is displayed from the 2nd ring.

If you have xDSL service, consider connecting a noise filter between the base unit and the telephone line jack.
