purple bulletCaller ID Features

Message Light:

An indicator marked NEW CALL will light up to let you know when there are new calls received.

If you have voice mail, an indicator marked MESSAGE will flash. You will then need to dial your mailbox to check for new messages.

The MESSAGE indicator also monitors the unit's situation. When the phone is in use, the MESSAGE indicator will be on continuously. If the indicator is flashing quickly, it means the phone is ringing. If it is not ringing and the light is flashing, the unit has experienced a power outage.

Receiving Calls:

  1. When the telephone is not in use and a new call is received, the display will show the NEW symbol, the phone number, the caller's name, and time and date of the call for 20 seconds. The RPT (repeat) symbol will appear if the call has come in more than once.
  2. After 20 seconds with no activity, the display will default to the Stand-By screen and remain on until another call is received or a button is pressed. This will show you the total number of calls stored and how many new calls that have not been reviewed.

Reviewing Calls:

  1. When the NEW symbol is flashing on the Stand-By screen, you have new incoming calls. Next to the NEW symbol is the total number of new calls. Press the REVIEW UP or REVIEW DOWN button to review the incoming stored calls.
  2. The NEW symbol attached to each call will be removed after you review the call.
  3. If the NEW symbol is still flashing when the display goes back to the Stand-By screen, there are new calls that you have not yet reviewed.
  4. The reviewed number can be stored into any of the auto memory buttons or keypad memory locations by pressing the STORE button first, then one of the memory buttons.
  5. When you have reached the end of the call records, the display will indicate [-END OF LIST-], confirming there are no more calls stored.

Note: If the telephone number received is more than 10-digits, the unit will only store the last 10-digits into memory.

Deleting Calls:

  1. To delete an individual call: When reviewing calls, you can delete an individual call by pressing the DELETE button once. The display will be erased line by line and the rest of the records will be renumbered.
  2. To delete all calls: When reviewing calls, you can delete all calls by pressing and holding DELETE for more than 3 seconds. Then [DELETE ALL] will appear. Press DELETE to confirm you really want to erase all records. [-NO CALLS-] appears on the display to show there are no calls stored in memory.

Callback:

When reviewing received calls, there are two ways to dial the telephone numbers shown on the display.

  1. With the handset in its cradle (on-hook), press DIAL. [PICKUP PHONE...] will appear in the LCD display to ask you to pick up the handset. The number will be dialed after you pick up the handset.
  2. If you pick up the handset, review the calls, and press DIAL, the displayed number will be dialed immediately.

Note: The HANDSET symbol will light up in the upper left hand corner of the LCD display when the handset is picked up.

If [SET AREA CODE] appears prior to [PICKUP PHONE...], or dialing, it means you have not programmed the local area code. Please hang up the telephone and program the area code.

  1. If a local call (a telephone number with the same area code as you set) is reviewed and its 7-digit number displayed, press DIAL to dial the number displayed.
  2. If a long distance call (a telephone number with a different area code than you set) is reviewed and its 10-digit number (3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number) is displayed, press DIAL to dial the number displayed.

Options Button:

The OPTIONS button allows you to change the format of the displayed number. The available format follows:

7-digit 7-digit telephone number
10-digit 3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number
11-digit 1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number

If a local call, and its 7-digit number is displayed:

Note: Since the LCD can only display 10-digit telephone numbers, when you change the format to 11 digits, only the first 10 digits can be seen, but it will dial 11 digits after you press DIAL.

If a long distance call, and its 10-digit number is displayed:

Message Error:

The display indicates [-ERROR-] if your unit receives a call that has an error in the transmission or reception.

No Data Sent:

[-NO DATA SENT-] will be displayed if there is no caller ID number sent from the telephone company while ringing.

Private Calls:

Unknown Calls:
