held, unavailable or is an international call). If the number is stored in the
phonebook, the caller’s name is also displayed

new call will take the place of the oldest call. You can display, scroll through
and dial numbers in the log. The sequence number is shown in the top
right-hand side of the LCD display.
If the caller has exercised the option to prevent his number from being
displayed, PRIVATE will be shown on the LCD display. If someone is call-
ing from an area where the service provider is not offering the Caller display
services or an area which is not providing name and number delivery to
your area via the long distance network, OUT OF AREA will be displayed
on the LCD display. If a telephone number has not been seen previously,
NEW will be displayed on the LCD display. If several calls have been
received from a particular number, REPEAT will be displayed.
The red incoming call indicator located on the right of your LCD display will
flash when you have received a new call in your absence. The indicator will
continue to flash until you review all the new calls displayed on the screen.
