CALLER ID
A WORD ABOUT CALLER ID - CID
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID
information may not be available for every call
you receive. In addition, the calling party may
intentionally block their name and phone num-
ber from being sent.
Installing multiple Caller ID devices which
share the same phone line may result in one
or more of the devices malfunctioning. If the
CID information is not consistently being dis-
played (with confirmed CID service), you
should disconnect all other CID devices shar-
ing the same phone line.
In addition, devices such as line splitters,
“smart switches”, noise and line-tap filters,
answering machines and other products in-
stalled between your VT9121 and the wall jack
may block or impede the CID information from
reaching your phone. If your VT9121 is not
consistently displaying Caller ID information
(with confirmed CID service), you should dis-
connect all devices between the wall jack and
the VT9121.

ID service is available and you must
