About caller ID
This telephone has a caller ID feature that works with the caller identication
service provided by your telephone service provider. There is a fee for
this service, and it might not be available in all areas. This telephone can
provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller
identication service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible
equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the
call, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact
your telephone service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may
need combined service).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting service.
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use this
telephone’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined
caller ID with call waiting services.
About home area code and local area codes
Always set your home area code, and if you need them, up to four local area
codes (see Set home area code on page 17 and Set local area code on
page 18). Entering these area codes affects how numbers are displayed in
the call history and makes returning a call from the call history easier (see To
return a call on page 39).
