USING CALLER ID
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your local phone company, the
system automatically displays information about calls you receive and
stores the information in Caller ID memory. The system can store up to
99 incoming call records.
The first line of the incoming call record shows the number of the call,
date, time, and number of times the caller has called. The second line
shows the caller's name (if available in your area and you subscribe to
it). The third line shows the caller's phone number.
Notes:
The second line of the system's display might show additional
information about the call (see "Caller ID Display Information").
When Caller ID memory is full, a new incoming call replaces the oldest
stored record.
Caller ID, Contact File, and Scheduler records all share the same
memory, so when the organizer's memory is full, no Caller ID files can
be received. Delete records you don't need from the Contact Files
and Scheduler to be sure you have as much memory as possible available
for Caller ID records.
During an incoming call, the phone company automatically sends the
current time.
CALLER ID DISPLAY INFORMATION
# (number of the call) - Shows the number of incoming
calls stored in memory. #01 is
the oldest call. If there are
multiple calls from the same
number, the EC-383 does not make
a separate entry for each call.
(#) X - Shows how many calls the EC-383
has received from a telephone
number. For example, 2X
indicates the second call from
that number.
OUT OF AREA - Appears if the caller is not
within a Caller ID service area,
or during operator-assisted
calls or calls made with a
credit card.

Caller ID information.
