Receive a call | The caller's name (if sent by a Caller ID service) |

|
Dial a number | The phone number you dialed |

Things to know about TTS:
You have to turn on TTS separately for each station. Open the menu and select Handset Setup or Base Setup. Then, select TTS On/off, and select On or Off for each station.
To make sure it doesn't interrupt a call or an intercom page, the phone only uses TTS when it starts out in standby. For example, if you open the phonebook during a call, the phone won't announce the names in your phonebook.
It takes at least 2 rings for the phone to receive Caller ID information and announce it. If the phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won't have time to announce the name of the caller.
To change the volume used for Caller ID announcements, change the ringer volume. To change the volume for all other TTS features, change the speaker volume.
The TTS feature only uses English to announce the name and numbers, regardless of what language is use for the display or the answering system prompts.
