To use this feature, you must first register and connect your cellular phones to the base unit (page 19).

Your cellular phones must be Bluetooth wireless technology compatible with this product.

This feature allows you to:

  • make or answer cellular calls using your home phone (handset or base unit) with better reception.
  • maximize the benefits of cellular services (such as free night and weekend calls, or cellular to cellular call plans) by utilizing unused peak minutes with your home phone.
    – conserve the battery power of your cellular phone while the unit is on a cellular call. (We recommend charging your cellular phone during the cellular call as your cellular phone battery is being consumed.)

Important:

  • Up to 2 cellular phones can be registered. However, only one Bluetooth device (cellular phone or headset) can be connected to the base unit at a time.
  • Locate your cellular phone near the base unit. If the cellular phone is too close to the base unit during a cellular call, you may hear noise. For best performance, we recommend placing the cellular phone between 0.6 m to 3 m (2 feet to 10 feet) away from the base unit.

Handset / Base unit

This feature lets you know who is calling without looking at the display.

To use this feature, you must:

– subscribe to a Caller ID service of your service provider/telephone company.

– turn this feature on (page 43).

When caller information is received, the handsets and base unit announce the caller's name or phone number received from your service provider/telephone company following every ring.

The unit announces in English only.

  • Name pronunciation may vary. This feature may not pronounce all names correctly.
  • Caller ID service has a limit of how many characters can be displayed. If the caller's name is too long:
    – the handset may not be able to display or announce the entire name.

Caller ID Service

Phonebook name announcement

When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is announced.

Ringer ID

You can select the desired ringer tone to a group that each phonebook entry is assigned (page 36). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a group, the ringer tone you selected for that group rings instead of the called line's ringer tone (page 20, 41, 43) after caller information is displayed. If you select "Current ringer" (default), the unit uses the called line's ringer tone when calls from this group are received.

Caller ID number auto edit feature

PANASONIC KX-TG7642 - Caller ID number auto edit feature - 1

Handset / Base unit *1

*1 KX-TG7641 series: page 3

Once you call back an edited number, the unit which was used to call back remembers the area code and format of the edited number. The next time someone calls from the same area code, caller information is customized by the unit as follows:

- When the call is being received, the Caller ID number is displayed in the same format as the edited number.

- After the call has ended, the caller's phone number is displayed in the same format as the edited number, when reviewed from the caller list.

For example, you can use this feature to set the unit to ignore the area code of callers in your area, so that you can call these local numbers using caller information without dialing the area code. To activate this feature, you must edit an entry in the caller list, then call that number. After that, phone numbers from that caller's area code are edited automatically.

This feature can be set for each unit (page 44). The default setting is "On".

Note:

  • Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes are automatically edited.
  • If you move to another area, you can turn this feature off to erase previously edited area codes. To use this feature

again, turn it on and reprogram the area codes you want to edit once again.
