Call Screening How to force caller to state his or her name before answering a call on a Panasonic KX T7431 phone?

Call the phone company to fix the problem.

maybe if you ring the company name of the phone such as panasonic it maybe broken or read the instructions

With the headset off, push the intercomm button or SP-PHONE button, then once you hear the speaker is on do do this.
Push the STAR sign which is * and then number 700 and your four digit extension.
For example ( *7000422).

No. CW CID is a function of the system the phone is plugged into. A TD system doesn't have it.

The answering system is set for the greeting mode. It will enter this state if the message memory is full or when the caller recording time is set to Greeting only.

To change the caller recording time from the handset, press Menu 0 6 2 then select the desired length of the recording. Then Save the setting and press Off.

If the phone is in this state, then delete messages from the unit. Then reset the caller recording time.

The manual for the phone is available here: http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Phones-Fax/Telephones/5-8-GHz-Phones/Operating-Instructions/model.KX-TG5653B.O#ts .

I hope this helps.

Generally, a 7431 phone plugs into a Panasonic KX-TD phone system cabinet. The 1232 starts as an 8 line 16 phone cabinet, the 816 a 4x8, and the 308 a 3x8. To those systems, you can add a TVx Panasonic brand voice mail system, or even a plain old ansering machine. Both would need to be probrammed by someone familiar with ringing and intercept groups in system programming.

A quick call to your Panasonic installer or dealer would be the best, as it's beyond the scope of this forum to provide instructions.

Hi,

Here is the instruction manual in PDF format, Just download it and install accordingly

http://www.sonic.net/~phonetek/7400.pdf

The user manual can be found here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXT7420.PDF

All Panasonic display phones, both analog and digital 7xxx series phones support CID. It requires 5 or 6 program adjustments as outlined in the manual. With luck, you may be able to just turn it on in 406, but your area code needs to be set if you have 7 digit local dialing, you need to tell the system if you want CID to adjust the clock daily, SMDR display, etc.

The 1232_PG lists all the steps. If you don't have a manual, you really need to get one. Post back and we'll see what we can do.
