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 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.

notification. Contact your voice mail provider for more details.
If you subscribe to a voice mail service, your phone can notify you when
