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 speaks “Call from...”
and the name of the caller based on the directory or caller
ID information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the
phone number up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
If the caller’s phone number is also private or unknown,
no information will be announced. By default, the caller ID
announce feature is programmed On.
To change the setting:
Press MENU on the handset or telephone base in idle
mode to enter the main menu.
Press CID or DIR on the handset, or press CID or
DIR on the telephone base to highlight Settings, then
press SELECT .
Press CID or DIR on the handset, or press CID or
DIR on the telephone base to highlight Caller ID
Annc, then press SELECT .
If you are changing the setting on the telephone base,

DIR on the telephone base to choose On or Off, then press SET to save.

To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your

When there are up to 5 handsets registered, the telephone system supports caller ID
announce for the telephone base and all handsets. If six or more handsets are registered, the
system supports caller ID announce for the first four registered handsets only.
This feature is not supported with headsets.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
If both home and cell lines are ringing, only the caller ID information of the first ringing
line will be announced.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
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, the phone won’t have time
to announce the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be
pronounced correctly.
