Caller ID Service

Using the Talking Caller ID feature:

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

•If a caller dialed from an area which does not provide a name display service, the unit will announce “Call from out of area”, “Call from private caller”, “Call from long distance” or “Number available”.

•If the ringer volume of the handset and the base unit is OFF, callers’ names will not be announced. Announcement volume depends on the handset or base unit ringer setting (p. 17).

•If the feature is OFF, the unit will not announce callers’ names (p. 15).

•A second caller’s name will not be announced while talking with the first caller (For Call Waiting Service Users, p. 40).

•Name pronunciation may vary. Name pronunciation quality is based on names most commonly used in the United States.

•The unit will announce each letter of abbreviations, such as Co., Inc., etc.

•Caller ID service supports names of up to 15 letters. If the caller’s name has more than 15 letters, the name will not be announced correctly.

•If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Service (IDENTA-RING for example) 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.

Using the Caller List

The unit can record information up to 30 different callers and store this information in the Caller List. Caller information is sorted by the most recent call to the oldest. When the 31st call is received, the information from the 1st call is deleted.

The unit will also tell you how many calls you missed while you were out or unavailable to answer the phone.
