Caller ID Deluxe Instructions

Caller ID Deluxe - Name/Number Delivery With Anonymous Call Rejection enables you to identify the calling telephone name and telephone number from which an incoming call was placed before you answer the phone. The calling name and number are displayed on a specially designed display unit. This display unit is purchased separately from the Caller ID Deluxe service that you ordered from your telephone company. Unless you have such a display unit, your Caller ID Deluxe service will not display the calling number.

After your Caller ID Deluxe display unit has been properly connected (see the installation instructions provided with your unit), and your Caller ID Deluxe service has been connected by your telephone company, the calling name and telephone number for each incoming call will be displayed between the first and second ring of your telephone. After the calling name and number has been displayed, you may choose to answer your phone in the normal manner, note the name and number and return the call later or ignore the call completely.

Caller ID Deluxe service works only on directly dialed calls between phone lines that have the service capability, and only between central offices that can transmit Caller ID Deluxe information. There may be times when your display unit shows various messages or symbols in addition to, or in place of, the calling name and number. As an example, some callers block the delivery of their telephone number preventing it from appearing on your display unit. These blocked calls may appear as "Private" or "Anonymous" on your display unit. For an explanation of these messages or symbols, please see the owner's manual that was provided with your unit. Public and semi-public telephones will display "Payphone", but business owned payphones may display the name of the business. For new telephone numbers, the number will be displayed but the name will not be displayed, since the name is not yet in the BellSouth database. The telephone number is only displayed while the receiver is on-hook; therefore, Caller ID Deluxe will not work simultaneously with Call Waiting.

Anonymous Call Rejection allows you to automatically reject calls from callers who have blocked the delivery of their telephone number. When you activate Anonymous Call Rejection, your callers will hear an announcement similar to the one following:

"Your call has been properly delivered, but the party you are trying to reach is not accepting calls from callers who do not allow delivery of their telephone number. Please hang up, do not block the delivery of your number, and call again."

Anonymous Call Rejection must be activated on your line before private calls will be rejected. Once activated, you will not know when calls are being rejected.

How To Activate

1. Lift handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press * 7 7 (for rotary or dial pulse telephones, press 1177). (You will hear two short confirmation tones.)

How To Deactivate

1. Lift handset and listen for dial tone.
2. Press * 8 7 (for rotary or dial pulse telephones, press 1187). (You will hear an announcement confirming deactivation.)

Tips And Techniques

	If you activate Anonymous Call Rejection and Call Forwarding at the same time and receive a call from someone with a privacy feature, the caller will be routed to the Anonymous Call Rejection announcement.
	If you Call Forward your calls to someone who has activated their Anonymous Call Rejection feature and your Anonymous Call Rejection feature is deactivated, your caller will be routed to the forwarded party's Anonymous Call Rejection announcement.
	If you have Call Waiting and Anonymous Call Rejection activated, you will not receive the Call Waiting tone when callers with a privacy feature call you. The caller will be routed to the Anonymous Call Rejection announcement.
	If you have Call Selector and Anonymous Call Rejection activated, and receive a call from someone with a privacy feature who is on your Call Selector list, you will hear distinctive ringing.
	If you receive a call from someone with a privacy feature who is on your Preferred Call Forwarding list, they will be forwarded to the remote location. If the remote location has Anonymous Call Rejection activated, the caller will be routed to the Anonymous Call Rejection announcement
