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:
Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the 
main menu.
Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Settings, then press 
MENU/SELECT. 
Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Caller ID annc, then 
press MENU/SELECT. 
Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to the desired option, then 
press MENU/SELECT. 
Set all On/Off - Change the setting for the base and all handsets.
Base - Change the setting for the telephone base only.
Press 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 for 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.
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.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
