Call block (Caller ID subscribers only)
This feature allows the unit to reject calls when:
- the unit receives a call from a phone number stored in the call block list as unwanted ("Storing unwanted callers", page 33).
– the unit receives a call without phone number ("Blocking incoming calls without phone number", page 34).
When a call is received, the unit rings for a short time ^*1 while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit emits no sound to the caller, and disconnects the call.
*1 This is called first ring. If you do not want the first ring to sound, turn this setting to "Off" (page 34).
Important:
- When the unit receives a call from a number that is stored in the call block list or a call without a recognized phone number, the call is logged in the caller list (page 37) with ➕ after the call is disconnected.
- You can program this setting using either the base unit or one of the handsets.
Storing unwanted callers
You can store up to 250 phone numbers in the call block list.
Important:
- We recommend storing 10 digits (including an area code). If only 7 digits are stored, all numbers that have the same last 7 digits will be blocked.

Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and it matches a phone number stored in the phonebook, the stored name in the phonebook is displayed and logged in the caller list.
Talking Caller ID
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 28, 30). 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 unit may not be able to display or announce the entire name.
- The announcement is heard at the same level as the ringer volume (page 17, 28, 30).
- If you turn on the answering system and set the number of rings "2 rings" (page 45), the unit does not announce the caller information. If "Toll saver" is selected and there is a new message, the unit does not announce the caller information.
- When you receive a call while on the phone, the 2nd caller's name is not announced even if you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting with Caller ID services.
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 for handset
This feature can help you identify who is calling by using different ringer tones for different groups of callers. When adding an entry to the phonebook, you can assign it to the desired group (page 22). When a call is received from a caller assigned to a group, the ringer you selected for that group rings after caller information is displayed. If you select "Current ringer" (default), the unit uses the ringer tone you selected on page 28 when calls from this group are received.

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Handset / Base unit
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 29, 31). The default setting is "On".
Note:
- Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes are automatically edited.
