Using On-Screen Menus
Receiving Calls
When your phone rings twice and Caller ID Message is set to On, a banner
appears at the bottom of the screen.
The banner may include the phone number, date, and time; or the name, phone
number, date, and time. The banner information depends on the type of service
your telephone company provides.
The Caller ID banner will override closed captioning at the bottom of the screen
and will appear for the amount of time selected in the Caller ID Setup screen.
The Caller ID banner will not be displayed if you are in the menu system or a
timer is active when you receive a call.
Note: If using your telephone and another call arrives, the new call’s
information won’t appear in the banner or be recorded in the Caller ID List
screen unless you have type II service and a type II Caller ID box in your
house.
If you have a timer set to either watch or record, the Caller ID banner will be
temporarily overriden for the duration of that timer. When the timer event is
over, the Caller ID banner will display as selected under Caller ID Message.
When viewing or recording manually (not using a timer) the Caller ID banner
will display (and be recorded if recording) as selected under Caller ID
Message.
At all times Caller ID messages will be stored in the Caller ID List screen
(unless a call arrives when you are on the telephone and you do not have a
Type II box or Type II service).
