- If the unit cannot receive caller information, the following is displayed:
- "Out of area": The caller dials from an area which does not provide a Caller ID service.
- "Private caller": The caller requests not to send caller information.
- "Long distance": The caller makes a long distance call.
- If the unit is connected to a PBX system, caller information may not be properly received. Contact your PBX supplier.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats it as a missed call. The display shows "Missed call".
Note:
- Even when there are unviewed missed calls, "Missed call" disappears from the standby display if the following operation is performed by one of the registered handsets:
- Being replaced on the base unit or charger.
- Pressing [OFF] on a handset.
Phonebook name display

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number, the handset 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 handset 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 handset 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 handset (page 20). The default setting is "On".
Note:
- Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes are automatically edited.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate interference.
