Talking Caller ID
To use this feature, you need to subscribe to Caller ID. For further information, 
please contact your telephone company.
• If the unit does not receive Caller ID information, the unit will announce “Call from 
out of area”, “Call from private caller”, or “Call from long distance”. If a call is received 
from an area where name display service is not available, “Number available” will 
be announced.
• If the ringer volume of the handset and base unit is off, caller names will not be 
announced. The announcement is heard at the handset or base unit ringer 
volume (p. 17, 18).
• If this feature is not turned on, caller names will not be announced (see below, 
p. 32).
• If you have Call Waiting service, the second caller’s information will be displayed 
but not announced (For Call Waiting Service Users, page 48).
• 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.” and “Inc.”.
• Caller ID supports names of up to 15 letters. If the caller’s name has more than 
15 letters, the name will not be displayed or announced correctly.
• If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Service (such as IDENTA-RING) 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.
To turn Talking Caller ID on or off  
You can turn Talking Caller ID on or off for the handset and base unit separately. If 
this feature is off, the unit will not announce caller names. The factory preset is ON.

• The order in which patterns F–H are 
displayed depends on how the telephone 
number is displayed in step 2.
5To call the edited number, press [C] or [s].
• If Caller ID Number Auto Edit is turned on (factory preset is on), phone 
numbers with the same area code as the number you edited will now be 
edited in the Caller List and each time you receive a call.
• You can press [OFF] immediately after pressing [C] or [s] if you wish to 
activate the Auto Edit feature without actually dialing the number you just 
edited.
To save the edited number into the phone book, press Save.
• If there is no name information, see “Storing Caller Information in the Phone 
Book” on page 36, from step 4.

Caller ID Number Auto Edit 
Once you call back an edited number (p. 34), this unit can automatically edit 
incoming phone numbers from the same area code in the Caller List and each time 
you receive a call. For example, it can ignore the area code of calls originating from 
your area code, so that you can call these numbers from the Caller List without 
dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit a caller’s phone number in the Caller List 
(p. 34) by selecting pattern F, G, or H, then make a call to that number. Calls 
from numbers in that area code will be edited automatically. The unit can remember 
up to 4 area codes to be edited according to patterns F and G.
When more than 5 area codes are edited, older area codes are reset to pattern H. 
Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes will be automatically 
edited.
You can turn this feature on or off using the handset. The factory preset is ON.
To turn Caller ID Number Auto Edit on or off
• If you fail to reach your destination when making a call, the phone number you 
dialed might have an incorrect pattern. Edit the phone number with another 
pattern (p. 34).
• When this feature is turned off, the unit will still be able to display Caller ID, but 
incoming Caller ID numbers will not be automatically edited.
• If you move to another area, you may need to turn this feature off to erase the 
previously edited area codes. To use this feature again, turn it on and reprogram 
the area codes you want to edit once again.
