ID volume How can we raise the volume on the caller ID announcement. It is barely audiable. We can raise and lower the volume on hearing someone talk but not the caller ID announcement

Ann also check with your telephone line provider for the land line calls that the subscribed service has been activated that forwards the calling line identity to your land phone line. Could be it somehow has become lost accidentally by the phone company.

It would be worth them checking it has not fallen off your subscriber settings to eliminate it as a possible cause)


Talking Caller ID Handset Dial #162 1 on 0 is off
Base Unit caller id Dial #*162 1 on 0 is off

Guess this toggles it from 1 or 0 in the settings

Sherry:
I believe that some how the security code #99 got changed. You may want to reset that code as #99 no longer works. From the manual:

Setting a Personal Security Code (PIN)

If you want to be able to play your messages from a remote location, you need to enter a two-digit Personal

Identification Number (PIN) code (01-99).

To select a PIN, perform the following steps:

1) With the phone in standby, press [menu/clock] twice.

The system announces "Security code," and the current PIN code is announced as it is displayed on the base.

Then the system announces the instructions for setting the PIN code.

2) Press [volume/select/ ] or [volume/select/ ] until the desired number appears.

3) Press [set] to select the PIN code. You hear a confirmation tone, then the announcement "Security code"

followed by the new PIN code is announced. After a few seconds, the system announces "To set ring time, press

menu again."
Note: The PIN code is set to "80" at the factory.

This feature lets you know who is calling

without looking at the display.

To use this feature, you must:

- subscribe to a Caller ID service of

your service provider/telephone

company.

- turn this feature on (page 24).

When caller information is received, the

handsets and base unit announce the

caller's name or phone number received

from your service provider/telephone

company following every ring.

The unit announces in English only.

L Name pronunciation may vary. This

feature may not pronounce all names

correctly.

L Caller ID service has a limit of how

many characters can be displayed. If

the caller's name is too long, the

handset may not be able to display or

announce the entire name.

L The announcement is heard at the

same level as the ringer volume (page

16, 23).

L If you turn on the answering system

and set the number of rings "2

rings" (page 36), the unit does not

announce the caller information. If

"Toll saver" is selected and there

is a new message, the unit does not
announce the caller information.

Dont be so secretive and sneeky Cheryl, and you wont have to worry about all the different guys names you have stored in your phones memory! Get a grip and a life too!

This is the info from the users manual, it seems a bit strange,
but claims if you set the number of rings before it answers, (for the answering system) to "2" it will stop the audible caller ID.
Here it is from the manual.

If you turn on the answering system
and set the number of rings “2” (page
38), the unit does not announce the
caller information. If “Toll saver” is
selected and there is a new message,
the unit does not announce the caller
information.
When you receive a call while on the
phone, the 2nd caller’s name is not
announced even if you subscribe to
both Caller ID and Call Waiting with
Caller ID services

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 ringer has to be on first. Usually the unit announces the caller’s name after the 2nd ring. If you turn on the answering system and set the ring count to “2” the unit does not announce the caller’s name. Set it for more than 2 rings for name announcement.

The KX-T7633 phone (the model you selected) does not have that feature directly. However, the automated attendant can make those announcements for numbers you enter and prerecord names for, both on a system wide basis and within your mailbox.

In addition, the system can work with "talking caller ID boxes" if they are plugged into an SLC port with the Caller ID option. This works, but is not something many installers are even aware of.

Hi trinigirl, You should not have to do anything to make the caller id information come through. There is no programming to perform for the regular caller id identification on your display after the second ring (it takes at least one ring cycle for the digital information to pass through). Your model also has the talking caller id function, which will announce in English the callers name or a custom name you can prepare in the phone book of handset number 1. With all that said, you are not getting caller id showing after the second ring, then your phone is bad (which is pretty rare for this symptom), or your phone line still does not have caller id activated. To troubleshoot your problem you need another phone line with working caller id and/or a different phone that is known good to pass caller id. That way you can interchange the phones/lines to see if it is your line or your phone. My guess it is your line somehow, though I have fixed phones that won't pass caller id, but rarely. If it is your phone, try rebooting it, thats about all you can do short of sending it in for repair. Let me know how it goes. CG

Set up the callers in your contacts. You must have the area code for the name to show up. You must dial the area code for the name to show up when dialing out.

The hearing problem could be the person you are talking to, if your volume is all the way up. If you are sure that it is you I would talk to a motorola technician. Let me know how it goes.
