Caller ID Service

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.

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.

Example

TINA ROBINSON

15552223333

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.
