Caller ID Service
Using Caller ID service
Important:
L This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features (such as displaying
caller phone numbers), you must
subscribe to Caller ID service. Consult
your service provider for details.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the caller's
phone number can be displayed.
L Phone numbers of the last 50 different
callers will be logged in the caller list.
L While listening to a message recorded by
the answering system, you can call back
the caller without having to dial the phone
number (KX-TCD290 only; page 44).
L When caller information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
unit's phonebook:
– The stored name will be displayed and
logged in the caller list.
– The handset will use the ringtone
assigned to the caller's category.
– The handset will announce the audible
call recording you made (KX-TCD290
only).
L If the unit is connected to a PBX system,
you may not receive the caller information.
L When the caller dialled from an area
which does not provide Caller ID service,
"Out of Area" will be displayed.
L When the caller requested not to send
caller information, either no information or
"Private Caller" will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats the
call as a missed call. The number of missed
calls is shown on the display. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to see
who called while you were out.

Call Waiting Caller ID
This is a service of your service provider and
will only operate if you have subscribed to
this service. When you hear a call waiting
tone during a conversation, the display will
show the second caller's information. You
can answer the second call by pressing {R}.
The first caller will be placed on hold.
Consult your service provider for details of
this service.
Category features for handset
phonebook
Categories can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringtones for
different categories of callers. When adding
an entry to the handset phonebook you can
assign it to the desired category (page 18).
When a call is received from a caller
assigned to a category, the category's
ringtone you select is used.
Changing category ringtones
You can select a ringtone for each category.
If you select "Ext. Ringtone", the unit
will use the external ringtone you set on
