How does my telephone company's Caller ID feature work with my Brother machine?
Your Brother machine's Caller I.D. feature allows you to use the Caller I.D. service that is offered by many local telephone companies. This feature will display the telephone number and name (if available) of the caller when the line rings.
After the line rings a few times, your Brother machine's LCD shows the caller's telephone number and name (if available). Once you answer the call, the Caller I.D. information disappears from the LCD, but the information is stored in your Brother machine's Caller I.D. Memory.
- You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).
- "Unavaiable" means the call originated outside your Caller I.D. service area.
- "Private Call" means the caller has intentionally blocked the transmission of Caller I.D. information.
- This feature may not be available in certain areas of the USA and Canada.
- Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area.
