Using Caller ID serviceImportant:
R This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a
Caller ID service. Contact your service
provider/telephone company for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received, the
caller information is displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers is
logged in the caller list from the most recent
call to the oldest.
RIf the unit cannot receive caller information,
the following is displayed:
–“Out of area ”: The caller dials from
an area which does not provide a Caller
ID service.
– “Private caller ”: The caller
requests not to send caller information.
– “Long distance ”: The caller makes a
long distance call.
R If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
caller information may not be properly
received. Contact your PBX supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a
missed call and  “Missed call ” is displayed.
This lets you know if you should view the
caller list to see who called while you were
away.
Even if only one missed call in the caller list is
viewed (page 34),  “Missed call ”
disappears from the display. When you
receive another new call,  “Missed call ” is
displayed again.
Note:
R Even when there are unviewed missed
calls,  “Missed call ” disappears from the
standby display if the following operation is
performed by one of the registered
handsets:
– Being replaced on the base unit or charger.
– Pressing  MOFF N.
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
phonebook, the stored name in the
phonebook is displayed and logged in the
caller list.
Talking Caller ID
This feature lets you know who is calling
without looking at the display.
To use this feature, you must:
– subscribe to a Caller ID service of your service provider/telephone company.
– turn this feature on (page 23).
When caller information is received, the
handsets announce the caller’s name or
phone number received from your service
provider/telephone company following every
ring.
The unit announces in English only.
R Name pronunciation may vary. This feature
may not pronounce all names correctly.
R Caller ID service has a limit of how many
characters can be displayed. If the caller’s
name is too long, the unit may not be able
to display or announce the entire name.
Phonebook name announcement
When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
phonebook, the stored name in the
phonebook is announced.
Caller list
Important:
R Make sure the unit’s date and time setting
is correct (page 12).

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number, the unit
which was used to call back remembers the
area code and format of the edited number.
The next time someone calls from the same
area code, caller information is customized by
the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the Caller ID number is displayed in the same format
as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s phone number is displayed in the same format as
the edited number, when reviewed from the
caller list.
For example, you can use this feature to set
the unit to ignore the area code of callers in
your area, so that you can call these local
numbers using caller information without
dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an entry
in the caller list, then call that number. After
that, phone numbers from that caller’s area
code are edited automatically.
This feature can be set for each unit
(page 24). The default setting is  “On ”.
Note:
R Phone numbers from the 4 most recently
edited area codes are automatically edited.
