Caller ID announce
The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling
without having to look at the display. When you have
an incoming call, the handset and/or base speaks
“Call
from...”
and the name of the caller based on the directory
or caller ID information. If the caller’s name is private or
unknown, the phone number up to the last 11 digits will be
announced. If the caller’s phone number is also private or
unknown, no information will be announced. By default, the
caller ID announce feature is programmed

NOTES:
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your
telephone service provider.
When there are up to 5 handsets registered, the telephone system supports caller ID
announce for all handsets. If six or more handsets are registered, the system supports
caller ID announce for the first four registered handsets only.
This feature is not supported with headsets.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
If both home and cell lines are ringing, only the caller ID information of the first ringing
line will be announced.
Caller ID announce is available in English and French.
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 caller ID information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be
pronounced correctly.
