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
announces "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 On.
To turn on or off the caller ID announce feature:
1. Press MENU
2. Press or
CID
press SELECT.
3. Press or
CID
You hear a confirmation tone and the screen shows
CID Annc ON/OFF on all HS & BS briefly before returning
to the previous menu.
