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.
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 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.
