If you are at the extension telephone, you'll

l 51.
If you are at the machine, lift the external
telephone’s handset, and then press Pickup
to answer.
Caller ID 5
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. This service shows the
telephone number or name (if available) of
your caller as the line rings. Call your
telephone company for details.
Once you answer a call, the Caller ID
information disappears from the
Touchscreen, but the call information stays
stored in the Caller ID memory.
You can view the list or choose one of these
numbers to fax to, add to Address Book, or
delete from the history. (See Caller ID history
on page 35.)
 You can see the number (or name).
 The # Unavailable message means
the call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
 The Private Call message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of Caller ID information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See How to print
a report on page 41.)
