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 spoken. If the caller’s phone number is also private
or unknown, no information will be spoken. By default, the caller ID announce
feature is programmed On.
To turn on/off the caller ID announce on your handset or base:
Using a cordless handset or the telephone base:
Press MENU in idle mode.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Caller ID annc, then
press SELECT .
Press CID or DIR to choose On or Off, then press
SELECT. You hear a confirmation tone and the screen shows
CID Annc ON/OFF on all HS & BS briefly before returning
to the previous menu.
NOTES:
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID
service from your telephone service provider.
When there are up to five handsets registered, the telephone system
supports caller ID announce for all handsets. If six or more handsets
are registered, the system supports caller ID announce for the first four
registered handsets only.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
When this feature is on, the telephone plays both the caller ID
information and the ringer at the same time when there is an incoming
call.
It takes at least two 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.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
When this feature is on, the telephone plays both the caller ID information and the ringer at the
same time when there is an incoming call.
