Using Talking Caller ID
To use this feature, you need to subscribe to Caller ID. For further information,
please contact your telephone company.
To activate this feature, you must turn this feature on (p. 32).
When a call is received, the unit will ring and receive
caller information.
Announcing caller information (Talker Caller ID)
If the caller’s phone number is stored in the phone book of the extension number 1
handset, all handsets and the base unit will announce the name stored in that
phone book (Ex. “Call from TINA ROBINSON”) following every ring. If the caller’s
phone number is not stored in the phone book of the extension number 1 handset,
“Number available” is announced, indicating you should look at the display to see
who is calling.
• The name announced by the Talking Caller ID feature will be different from the
name displayed on the extension number 2 handset if the name is stored
differently in each phone book.
• If the unit does not receive Caller ID information, the unit will announce “Call from
out of area” or “Call from private caller”.
• If the ringer volume of the handsets and base unit is off, caller names will not be
announced. The announcement is heard at the handset or base unit ringer
volume (p. 17, 18).
• If this feature is turned off, caller names will not be announced (p. 32).
• If an outside call is received while on an intercom call between the handset and
base unit, the other handset will ring, but the caller’s name will not be announced.
• Name pronunciation may vary.
• The unit will announce each letter of abbreviations, such as “Co.” and “Inc.”.
• 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.
• Your unit may mute one or more rings in order to announce the name of the caller.
Talking Caller ID takes precedence over ringing.
If you receive a call from one of the phone numbers
stored in the phone book or if the name display
service is available in your area, the caller’s name will
be displayed.
