Caller ID announce
The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling without having to look
at the display. When you have an incoming call, the handset and/or base
announces the caller’s name based on the directory or caller ID information. If the
caller’s name is private or unknown, the phone number will be announced. If the
caller’s phone number is also private or unknown, no caller information will be
announced. If the telephone number has over 11 digits, only the last 11 digits will
be announced. Unless you change it, the caller ID announce feature is already
turned on.
Press MENU/SELECT when the handset is not in use.
Press or to highlight >Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press or to highlight >Annc Caller ID, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press or to highlight >HANDSET or >BASE, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press or to choose >On or >Off.
Press MENU/SELECT to save your selection and return to
the previous menu. You hear a confirmation tone.
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service
from your telephone service provider.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
The caller ID announce is muted when you turn the ringer off.
Only the first four registered handsets are able to use the caller ID announce
feature.
It takes at least 2 rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and
announce it. If the phone is answered before the end of the second ring, it will
not have time to announce the caller ID information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be
pronounced correctly.
