SPP-SS960 Spread Spectrum 900MHz Cordless Phone w/Caller ID
(430-8014) Caller ID Faxback Doc. # 46205
Understanding the Caller ID service
Caller ID allows the caller's phone number to be shown on the display
before you answer the call. In order to use the feature, you must first
subscribe to Caller ID service. The name of the service may vary depending
on your telephone company.
To use the feature be sure to enter your area code (see Faxback Doc.
# 46203).
When you receive a call
The phone number appears on the display with the date and time as shown in
the following example.
If your Caller ID service includes the caller name service, the caller's
name also appears on the display (up to 15 letters).
Callers name: SMITH JOHN
Caller's phone number: 1-201-123-4567
The date and time received: 7:04 PM 4:03
When you answer the call, the Caller ID display changes to the "TALK"
display.
Notes: If the RING ON/BATT SAVE switch is set to BATT SAVE, the Caller ID
is not displayed and it is not kept in the Caller ID list (see
below). If you set it back to RING ON while the phone is ringing,
the Caller ID appears from that moment.
The caller's phone number and/or name will not appear in the
following cases:
"OUT OF AREA": When the call is made through a telephone company
which does not offer Caller ID service (including
international calls).
"PRIVATE": When the call is "blocked". For privacy reasons,
many states allow callers the option to prevent
his or her telephone data from being displayed
on the other party's Caller ID display.
If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the
displayed phone number may not match the number you use to call
the extension.
About the memory match function
If you receive a call from a phone number which is stored on one of the
ONE-TOUCH DIAL buttons or in the Phone Directory (see Faxback Doc. # 46204),
the ringer sound will change to a higher tone from the second ring.
Note: The memory match function does not work with "OUT OF AREA" or
"PRIVATE" calls, and it may not work with calls made from an office
which uses multiple lines because the number does not always match
the one you stored in this phone.
Looking at the Caller ID list
The phone stores the data of the last 20 calls received including "OUT OF
AREA" and "PRIVATE" calls. It keeps track of all calls received; even if
they were not answered.
However, if the RING ON/BATT SAVE switch is set to BATT SAVE, the phone
can't receive the Caller ID data.
Viewing the Caller ID list
You can look through the Caller ID list to check the phone number and/or
name of the calls received.
1. Press Jog Dial.
The display shows the number of "NEW" (calls which you have not viewed)
and "OLD" (calls which you have viewed) calls.
2. Turn Jog Dial.
The data of the newest call appears for 20 seconds.
3. Turn Jog dial down to display older data or up to display newer data.
Note: If a 21st call is received, the oldest data is automatically erased.
Tips: You can view the Caller ID list during conversation also by following
the steps above.
If there is "NEW" data, the NEW CALL lamp of the base unit flashes.
About the "*" mark
"*" appears if there are more than two calls from the same phone number.
The older data will be replaced by the new data, so the calls are counted
as only one call.
Erasing data from the Caller ID list
Old data will be erased automatically when a 21st call comes in, but you
can also manually erase unnecessary data one by one or erase the entire
list.
To erase the phone numbers one by one
1. Display the phone number you want to erase from the Caller ID list
(see above).
2. Press Jog Dial.
3. Turn Jog Dial up to make "ERASE" flash and press Jog Dial.
4. Turn Jog Dial up to make "YES" flash, then press Jog Dial.
You hear a long confirmation beep and the data is erased.
To erase the entire list at once
1. Display any Caller ID data.
2. Press Jog Dial.
3. Turn Jog dial up to make "ERASE" flash and press Jog Dial.
4. Turn Jog Dial up to make "ALL" flash, then press Jog Dial.
5. Turn Jog Dial up to make "YES" flash, then press Jog Dial.
You hear a long confirmation beep and the entire list is erased.
Note: "ALL" appears only when all the data has become "OLD" data. If there
is any "NEW" data, you can't erase the entire list.
Using the Caller ID list
By using the Caller ID list, you can call back a phone number from the
Caller ID list easily, or store numbers from the Caller ID list into memory
dialing keys.
Calling back a number from the Caller ID list
1. Display the phone number you want to call from the Caller ID list
(see above).
2. Press Jog dial.
3. Press Jog dial again. The phone automatically dials the displayed
number.
Note: If the phone is connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), you may
not be able to call back from the Caller ID list because an outside
line access digit is necessary.

list (see above).

Notes: Do not allow more than 20 seconds to elapse between each step of the
procedure.
If the phone is connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) you may
need to add an outside line access digit.
Using "Caller ID with call waiting" service
This telephone is compatible with the "Caller ID with call waiting" service.
Make sure that your telephone company offers this service.
Like the basic Caller ID service, you need to subscribe to "Caller ID with
call waiting" in order to use this service.
Even though you may have already subscribed to "Caller ID" and "call
waiting" as two separate services, you need to request a subscription to
"Caller ID with call waiting" as a single service.
This is a new service that combines the two services.
Even though you now have a "Caller ID with call waiting" compatible phone,
unless you subscribe to the combined "Caller ID with call waiting" service,
you will not be able to see the name and number of the second caller.
When a new call comes in while you are talking, the caller's name and/or
phone number of the new call appears on the display for about 20 seconds.
To switch to another caller
1. To switch to the new caller, press [CALL WAITING/FLASH].
2. To switch back to the first caller, press [CALL WAITING/FLASH] again.
