operate differently on different handsets. TTS will announce
the number or name of the incoming caller. Some handsets
may only allow for one number entry per contact to be
vocalized and others may allow for several numbers per
contact. The software that we use in this Free 2 Talk device is
the most up to date available at the time of manufacturing
however we cannot guarantee the TTS operation with any
particular handset. To View a compatibility list for handsets or
for more information regarding TTS please visit our website
www.free2talk.com.au
To toggle the TTS function On or Off, simply hold the “+” for 6
seconds in standby mode (“Voice Prompt On” or “Voice Prompt
Off” is announced to denote its current status).
