About caller ID
This telephone has a caller ID feature that works with caller identication
service provided by your telephone service provider. There is a fee for this
service, and it may not be available in all areas. This telephone can provide
information only if both you and the caller are in the areas offering caller
identication service, and both telephone service providers use compatible
equipment.
When you use this telephone with caller ID service, you can see the name
and telephone number of the caller before answering. If you subscribe
to caller ID with call waiting, a combined service available through many
telephone service providers, you can see the name and the telephone
number of the new incoming call even when on another call. This service
may be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call waiting) by
different telephone service providers and may not be available in all areas.
The format of caller ID display depends on the home and local area codes
you set (see the Area codes section on page 18 for instructions):
• If the call comes from within your home area code, the screen shows only
the seven-digit number (without an area code).
• If the call is from one of your local area codes, the screen shows 10 digits
(area code plus the seven-digit number).
• If the call is not from any of the area codes you set.
Telephone numbers with 10 or more digits are shown with a 1
preceding the incoming call number.
Telephone numbers with fewer than 10 digits will be shown without the
preceding 1.

You must subscribe to combined caller ID with call waiting as a single service
to see caller ID information for a call waiting call. Contact your telephone
service provider for this service.
