8. Caller ID and the Calls list

IMPORTANT

To use Caller ID, you must first subscribe to the service from 
your network provider. A subscription fee may be payable.

To ensure that the caller's name is displayed, make sure you 
have stored the full telephone number, including the area 
code in the phonebook.
If the caller’s number is stored in the phonebook, the name 
assigned to it will be displayed.
If the call is a withheld call, 

WITHHELD

 will be displayed.

If the number is unavailable, 

UNAVAILABLE

 will be displayed.

If the call is from an international number, 

INTERNATIONAL

 will 

be displayed.
If the call is from the operator, 

OPERATOR

 will be displayed. 

If the call is from a payphone, 

PAYPHONE

 will be displayed.

If the call is from a ringback request, 

RINGBACK

 will be displayed.

8.1

Caller ID

If you have subscribed to a Caller ID Service, you will be able 
to see your caller’s number on your handset  (provided it is 
not withheld) prior to answering the call. The display can 
show the first 12 digits or characters of the phone numbers 
and names.

If your caller’s name and number are stored in the 

phonebook and a name/number match is found, you will see 

the caller’s name on the display instead.

8.2

Calls list

The Calls list stores details of your last 40 received calls, 

including the phone number and date and time of the call. 
The Calls list also alerts you when you have unanswered calls.
The caller’s details are stored in the Calls list whether or not 

you have answered the call. The list is shared by all 

handsets registered to the base. When the list is full, and a 

new call is received, the oldest entry will be deleted 

automatically.
When a new call is received in the Calls list, 

 icon will 

flash on the display in standby mode to alert you. When you 
have viewed the new call, 

 icon disappears but 

 icon 

will remain.
