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/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to Settings, then press MENU/SELECT.
3. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to Caller ID annc, then
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight the desired option, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Set all On/Off - Change the setting for the base and
all handsets.
Local handset - Change the setting for that handset only.
Base - Change the setting for the telephone base only.
5. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight On or Off, then press
MENU/SELECT. There is a confirmation tone and the screen
returns to the previous menu. If you change the setting to
Set all On/Off, the screen shows CID Annc ON/OFF on all HS & BS.
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.
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.
