If your phone has a display, Caller ID can show your incoming caller’s
number and optional name. The Caller ID information will show as either
a post-answer or pre-answer display. With the post-answer display, you’ll
see the caller’s number and optional name after you answer the call. The
pre-answer display lets you see the caller’s number and optional name
before you answer the call. You can also use the pre-answer display to
preview incoming calls before you answer them. The Caller ID
pre-answer display is available only if your telephone does not have
Automatic Handsfree (see page 7). Check with your communications
manager.
