CALLER ID SERVICE
OPTIONS
You must subscribe to a CALLER ID service
(available from most local telephone companies)
in order to receive CALLER ID information.
Most CALLER ID services offer the following two
options:
Standard CALLER ID with name and number:
The name, phone number and local time
(if available) of the incoming calls are
received within the first two rings.
CALL WAITING CALLER ID with name and
number:
The name, phone number and local time
(if available) of the incoming call are
received after your phone rings. If you are
on the phone and receive another call, you
will hear a tone, telling you there is a call
waiting. The CALL WAITING CALLER ID
information will appear on the display.
Note:
The display illustrations in the remainder of this section
are presented with the assumption that your CALLER ID
service provides both name and number. If you have a
number-only service, the name will be blank or state
"UNAVAILABLE" in the display.
SAVING CALLER ID
INFORMATION
The TA-160 automatically saves up to 75
CALLER ID entries. CALLER ID information
(name, phone number, date, time) that is
transmitted will be stored for your reference.
All CALLER ID names and numbers are stored
in order of receipt (last call is displayed as
highest memory number.) If the memory
becomes full, the newest entries will be saved
and the oldest ones will be erased.
ANSWERING
CALLER ID CALLS
