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. The
default setting is
On.
To turn on or off the caller ID announce feature:
1. Press MENU/

phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won’t have time to announce
the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
Caller ID announce is available in English and French only.
