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
announces the caller’s name 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
caller information will be announced. The
default setting is On.

it. If the phone is answered before the end
of the second ring, it will not have time to
announce the caller ID information.
