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. The
default setting is On.
To turn on or off the caller ID announce feature:
1. Press MENU in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Press
7
CID or
7
DIR on the handset, or press TCALLER ID
or SDIRECTORY on the telephone base to scroll to
Caller ID annc, then press SELECT.
3. Press
7
CID or
7
DIR on the handset, or press TCALLER ID or
SDIRECTORY on the telephone base to highlight On or Off,
then press SELECT. There is a confirmation tone. The handset
and telephone base screen show 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.
If you have paired an AT&T TL80133 DECT 6.0 cordless speakerphone
to the telephone base, the caller ID announce setting for all devices
also applies to the cordless speakerphone. When the setting is On,
the cordless speakerphone speaks “Call from...” and the name of
the caller based on the directory or caller ID information during an
incoming call. If the caller’s name is unavailable, the phone number
up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
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.
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.
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.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
