Caller ID
Cellular Caller ID
Your cell phone may offer Caller ID as a stand-alone device if this information is provided by your
cellular service provider.
Some—but not all—cell phones also support Caller ID through the adaptor cable and the docking
station. If your cell phone supports this, the handset display will show the caller’s phone number and
the words
CELL CALL
.
NOTE:
Information for the date and time the call was received cannot pass through the cellular
phone docking station.
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 cordless handset 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.
