Talking Caller ID
This feature allows you to know who is
calling without looking at the display. When
a call comes in, the handset and base unit
will announce the caller’s name displayed
on the handset following every ring.
To use this feature, you must subscribe to
your telephone company’s Caller ID
service.
Important:
L
If Caller ID information is received and it
matches a phone number stored in the
phonebook or if the name display
service is available in your area, the
caller’s name will be displayed and
announced.
L
If the caller’s phone number is stored in
the phonebook of the extension number
1 handset, all handsets and the base
unit will announce the name stored in
that phonebook following every ring.
L
The name announced by the Talking
Caller ID feature will be different from
the names displayed on the other
extension handsets (2 to 8) if the name
is stored differently in each phonebook.
L
If the unit does not receive Caller ID
information, the unit will announce “Call
from out of area” or “Call from private
caller”.
L
Name pronunciation may vary. This
feature may not pronounce all names
correctly.
L
The unit will announce each letter of
abbreviations, such as “Co.” and “Inc.”.
L
Caller ID supports names of up to 15
letters. If the caller’s name has more
than 15 letters, the name will not be
displayed or announced correctly.
L
Your unit may mute one or more rings in
order to announce the name of the
caller. Talking Caller ID takes
precedence over ringing.
L
If the ringer volumes of the handset and
base unit are turned off, caller names
will not be announced. The
announcement is heard at the ringer
volume (page 25, 49).
L
If this feature is turned off, caller names
will not be announced (page 55, 58).
L
Usually the unit will announce the
caller’s name after the 2nd ring. If you
turn on the answering system, and set
the ring count to “2” (page 68), the unit
will not announce the caller’s name. If
“Toll saver” is selected, and there is
a new message, the unit will not
announce the caller’s name.
L
If an outside call is received while on an
intercom call between the handset and
base unit, the other handsets will ring,
but the caller’s name will not be
announced.
