Call Display Service

Talking Call Display

To use this feature, you need to subscribe to a Call Display service. For further information, please contact your telephone company.

The unit will announce the caller’s name as received from the telephone company. If the caller’s phone number is stored in the phone book with a name that is different from the name received from the telephone company, the name announced and the name displayed may be different.

If the unit does not receive caller information, the unit will announce “Call from private caller” or “Call from long distance”. If a call is received from an area where name display service is not available, “Number available” will be announced.

If the ringer volume of the handset 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 not turned on, caller names will not be announced (see below, p. 28).

If you have Call Waiting service, the second caller’s information will be displayed but not announced (For Call Waiting Service Users, page 47).

Name pronunciation may vary.

The unit will announce each letter of abbreviations, such as “Co.” and “Inc.”.

Call Display service 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.

If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Service from your telephone company with 2 or 3 consecutive rings, your unit may mute one or more of the rings in order to announce the name of the caller.

To turn Talking Call Display on or off

You can turn Talking Call Display on or off for the handset and base unit separately. If this feature is off, the unit will not announce caller names. The factory preset is ON.
