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.
To turn on or o 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 Caller ID annc, then press MENU/SELECT.
3. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight On or Off, then press MENU/SELECT. There is a
confirmation tone.
