Caller ID (CID)
Caller ID (CID) is a service available from your local telephone company. For Caller ID
to work on this system, you must subscribe to Caller ID service. To receive Caller ID
information for a Call Waiting call, you must subscribe to the combined Call Waiting Caller
ID service.
This telephone system receives and displays CID information transmitted by your local
telephone company. This information may include the phone number, date and time; or
the name, phone number, and date and time.
CID Error Codes
Various Caller ID error messages may appear in the display. Refer to the Display Messages
section of this User’s Guide for more information.
Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and
second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving
you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
Storing CID Records (In Caller ID Memory)
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory stores
the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while you
were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is
automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review
show as NEW in the display.
Reviewing CID Records
As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how many calls
have been received. To scroll CID records:
1. Make sure the phone is OFF (not in talk mode).
2. Press the CID/VOL (\/) button to review the newest CID record.
3. Press the CID/VOL (/\) button to review the oldest CID record first.
As you review CID records, the display shows you the following information for each call:
• The telephone number of the caller.
• The number of the call, with regard to the order received.
• The name of the caller, if this service is available in your area.
• Time and date the call was received.
• NEW appears for all calls that have not been previously reviewed.
• REPT shows in the display for a call that has not been previously reviewed but is
received from the same number more than once.
NOTE: Check with your local phone company regarding name service availability.
Storing CID Records in Internal Memory
You may also store CID information in the phone’s internal memory. You may not reformat
CID records stored in memory.
TIP: To prevent the CID information from automatically being deleted, you may
want to store it in the phone’s memory.
NOTE: It is important that you format CID records correctly before storing in
internal memory.
