Explanation:
"Titelzeile" also appears often in html source code for the title of a German page. For example:

- <title>;www.Plicht-Hamburg.de (Titelzeile)</title> - from:

http://www.plicht-hamburg.de/ - or -

http://www.buehler-hd.de/mmb/kurs/titel.htm -

The term also shows up for WML (wireless markup language) for mobile telephones with a similar meaning:

"Im <card> Tag können Parameter angegeben werden, die wichtigsten sind title="..." für die Bezeichnung der Karte in der Titelzeile und in Suchhilfen, sowie id="..." für Sprungmarken."

from this URL: - http://www.boku.ac.at/htmleinf/wein1.html -

For your telephone system, the meaning is probably more similar to what uel said from Microsoft. Here is the full Microsoft text:

Titelzeile, die; Substantiv. = (title bar)
"Bei einer grafischen Benutzeroberfläche ein horizontaler Bereich am oberen Rand eines Fensters, der den Namen des Fensters enthält. Meist sind in den Titelzeilen auch Schaltflächen enthalten, um das Fenster zu schließen oder seine Größe zu verändern. Durch Klicken auf die Titelzeile lässt sich das gesamte Fenster verschieben."
Ferretti – Wörterbuch der Datentechnik says that "Titelzeile" and "Titelleiste" are both "title bar".
Researching backward from "title bar" we get "Titelleiste" in SAP Term Dictionary which also fits.
Schulze - Computer-Englisch shows "Titelleiste" as "title bar" but "Titelzeile" as more the printing meanings of "caption" or "headline".
It could well be though that Brinkmann – Data Systems and Communications Dictionary has the best translation, they say a "Titelzeile" is a "header line", which might be better for the simple titles on your telephone display.
Using this "header line" or "title bar", telephone terminal display page titles such as "Telephone book", "Services", "Patient records" or "Account payments" etc. could be created.
