Q: QuestionDoes this system have a "Do Not Disturb" or "Quite Mode" function? If so, when engaged, does it place all phones in that mode or only the one the function was initiated on?

Asked 5 years ago by Karen.

• A:Answer Karen - Yes, the IS8151-4 comes with a Quiet mode feature. When QUIET mode is turned on, the telephone silences all sounds during the set period of time (1-12 hours) in all registered handsets. However, the handset locator paging tone and any sound-generating operations initiated by users, such as making calls using the speakerphone or setting ringer volume, will sound as normal.

Q: QuestionDoes this phone have Voice Caller ID?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer If you mean speaking caller ID, yes. The phone or base station will announce the caller using name if available or number if not, like "Call from John." If the caller is in your phonebook, it will use the name from the phonebook rather than the name sent by caller ID (if they're not the same), like "call from Mom."
