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.
You can use a number in the Caller ID history to make a phone call, send a fax, add it to Speed Dial, or delete it from the history. (See
Caller ID history.)
After a few rings, the LCD shows 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 can see the first 20 characters of the number (or name). |
| • | 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. |
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. |
