Announcing Incoming Calls
Between the first and second ring, the caller’s telephone number or
recorded name will be announced over the caller ID unit’s speaker.
The telephone number, name listing (for caller ID deluxe custom­
ers) and date and time of the call will also be displayed.
Sometimes the unit will display and announce NUMBER UNKNOWN
or NUMBER BLOCKED. Number unknown means that the tele­
phone company sends no information about the calling party. Of­
ten times this means that the call is originating from a telemarketer.
Number Blocked means that the caller has decided not to have his
or her caller ID information sent to you. You can advise callers to
“Un-Block” by dialing *82 before calling you.
Announcing Call Waiting Calls
If you subscribe to Call Waiting ID service, VoiceAnnounce 9900CW
will announce and display information about your call waiting calls.
In order for VoiceAnnounce to identify these calls, you must be
talking on the telephone that’s plugged into the back of the unit.
The call-waiting caller’s identity can be announced over the built-in
speaker. You can set up how you want it to operate by selecting
the desired set up options (See Custom Setup Options.)
The speaker announcement broadcasts the call-waiting caller’s
recorded name or number over the built-in speaker. Others in the
house will know that there is a call waiting. Additional
VoiceAnnounce call waiting ID products can be installed on the
same line to “announce” the call waiting caller anywhere in the house.
If you want, you can setup the unit to announce only call waiting
callers that have a recorded name associated with their phone num­
ber (see Custom Setup Options.)
