Talking Caller ID Handset Base Unit

To use this feature, you need to subscribe to Caller ID. For further information, please contact your telephone company.

The factory preset of the Talking Caller ID feature is ON (p. 29).

When a call is received, the unit will ring and receive Caller ID information.

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 and announced.

Announcing caller information (Talking 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.

•Depending on your telephone company, the unit may announce “Number available” before announcing the caller’s name stored in the phone book of the extension number 1 handset.

•The name announced by the Talking Caller ID feature will be different from the names displayed on the other extension handsets (2 to 4) 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. 16, 17).

•If this feature is turned off, caller names will not be announced (p. 29).

•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.
