Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. Call your telephone
company for details. This service shows the
telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
After a few rings, the LCD will show the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you answer a call, the Caller
ID information disappears from the LCD, but
the call information stays stored in the Caller
ID memory.
 You will see the number (or name) on the
LCD.
 The ID Unknown message means the
call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
 The ID Withheld message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See Printing the
Caller ID List uu page 28.)
Note
• The Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local telephone
company to find out about the kind of
service available in your area.
• This feature may not be available in some
countries.
