Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company or service provider. When

you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the incoming caller’s tele-

phone number (and name, if available), and the call’s date and time, between the first

and second rings. The CID display receives and displays this information for each

call, and updates the display with the current date and time. The display also shows

if the caller information is not available, or if the sender blocks that information.

Your B150D will save up to ninety-nine (99) call records,  after which it replaces the

oldest call record with each new one.
