Caller ID
About caller ID
This deskset supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers
offer. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number,
or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider after
the first or second ring. Caller ID information might not be available for every
incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone
numbers.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in
areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use
compatible equipment.
Information about caller ID with call waiting
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and
telephone number of the caller before answering the
telephone, and while on another call.

Silence
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition,
this service might be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual
call waiting) by different telephone service providers and might not be
available in all areas.
It might be necessary to change telephone service to use this feature.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you
might need to combine these services).
• You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
NOTES:
•
•
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, or you can use this telephone’s other
features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you
set (see Area codes in your SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s manual for explanations and
instructions for setting area codes).

Caller ID
Caller ID Information
How the caller ID information (call log) works
The deskset stores caller ID information for the
last 50 incoming calls. Entries are stored in reverse
chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest
entry when the log is full to make room for a new call.
Each extension has an independent call log. Deleting
the caller ID information on any one extension
does not affect the caller ID information on
other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the
screen, it will not be saved in the call log.

Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until

If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a telephone
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the
corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown is in the format from the telephone service provider. It usually
delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). The telephone
system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first
corresponding number from the directory.

system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to
new messages differently.
• If you turn on the COVM feature (see COVM
on page 30 for more information) and the COVM
icon displays on the deskset, your telephone
service provider is indicating that it has new
voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you
typically dial an access number provided by your
telephone service provider, followed by a security
code or PIN.
• To listen to messages recorded on your digital
answering system, press
/MAILBOX on the deskset (see page 57).
Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail
and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check
what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone
service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off
your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate
your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system
and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer
before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your
voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are
on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you
receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six
rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail
providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead
of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting.

Answering system
Set the answering system to answer automatically
You can set each of the four lines to automatically answer incoming calls
on the main telephone base in two different ways. See the SynJ SB67118/
SB67138 user’s manual for more information.
General mailbox:
The called line rings on every extension for each incoming call. If there is no
answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message in the general mailbox, which
a person at any handset or the deskset can review. The general mailbox stores
incoming messages, memos and recorded calls.
Auto attendant:
The called line for each incoming call flashes on every extension, but does not
ring. Instead, the auto attendant answers. The caller can specify an extension
or leave a general mailbox message. When the auto attendant directs a call to
an extension but it is not answered, the auto attendant prompts the caller to
leave a message for that extension or try another extension.
Answering system capacity
The maximum recording time of all handsets, desksets and main telephone
base is 180 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message
characteristics. Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages
remain available for review until you delete them.
Each recorded announcement requires system memory, so we suggest
recording a brief announcement in order to leave more space for messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to
Remaining space in the SynJ SB67118/SB67138 user’s manual.

Deskset mailbox setup
Deskset mailbox overview
Your deskset has its own mailbox which is different from the general mailbox
on the main telephone base. If you turn on the auto attendant on the main
telephone base and fast answer mode on the deskset, the caller is able to
leave a message on the deskset mailbox after two rings. If you do not turn
on the fast answer mode on the deskset, the answering system picks up the
call after five rings and allows the caller to leave a message on the deskset
mailbox, or call another extension or the operator.
New message indication
When you have new messages in the deskset mailbox, the screen displays
New messages. In addition, the new message indicator
flashes.
If the notify alert is turned on (see pages 54-55), you will receive a phone
call at the telephone number you chose each time a new message has
been recorded.
There is no new message indication on the deskset when messages are left in
the general mailbox.
Fast answer mode
You can set the number of times your extension rings before the auto
attendant asks the caller to leave you a message or choose another
extension. The number of rings can be two (on) or five (off). The default is
five rings.

Appendix
Important safety information
Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations.
Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves,
so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted
by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you
should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded
telephones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from
the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is
experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce
or eliminate the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive
material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause
harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do
not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in
an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries
may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or
recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting
spent Ni-MH batteries.
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary
evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac
pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to
physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
•
•
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
when it is turned ON.
•
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless telephones.
Especially about telephone answering systems
Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the
call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations
regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the
other party that you are recording the conversation.
