Check the Package Contents
Check the package contents to make sure you have the
following items: talking caller ID unit, telephone line cord, and
three AAA-size batteries.
Care and handling of your batteries
Please read these instructions before installing batteries.
Make sure to insert the batteries properly, following the symbols
showing you the correct way to position the positive (+) and
negative (-) ends of the batteries.
Replace batteries with the size and type specified by the
device’s manufacturer. Remove all used batteries from the
device at the same time, then replace them with new batteries of
the same size and type.
Don’t dispose of batteries in a fire—they may rupture or leak.

of batteries. This can cause rupture or leakage, resulting in
personal injury or property damage.
Don’t give batteries to young children.

Installation
Set up the VoiceAnnounce 500 by installing three (3) “AAA”
batteries inside the battery compartment on the underside of the
unit. The unit will also work with a compatible AC Adapter
(6VDC output with negative pin polarity.)
Plug one end of the telephone cord into the telephone jack on the
wall, and the other end into either of the telephone jacks on the
back of the unit.
An extra telephone jack is provided on the back of the unit for
connecting a telephone or other device at your option.

Screening telephone calls while you’re at home
The VoiceAnnounce 500 works with standard (number-only)
and deluxe (name and number) caller ID service available from
your local telephone company.
The unit identifies calls by announcing the caller’s ten-digit
telephone number between the first and second ring. If the call
is coming from a number that has been blocked, it will announce
“Number Blocked.” If the telephone number is unidentified, the
unit will announce “Number Unknown.”
If the phone is still ringing, and you didn’t hear the number being
announced, just press the big key and it will repeat the number.
Audibly Reviewing Calls
The unit stores the last ten calls in memory for audible review.
This is convenient for finding out who called while you were
out. There are two ways to perform audible call review:
1. Press the big key to hear the date, time, and telephone
number of the most recent call in the log. Subsequent pressing
and releasing this key will go further back into the call log and
announce information about earlier calls. Pressing the big key
while an announcement is in process pre-empts the current
announcement and goes to the next call. After the final call is
announced, the unit beeps. Continued pressing will start back at
the top of the log again.
2. Hold down the big key for 2-seconds, and it will announce
the number of new calls followed by the date, time, and
telephone number of every new call in the log. After the final call
is announced, the unit beeps.
8
Language Selection
The unit speaks in English and Spanish. To change the selected
language, hold down the small key and momentarily press and
release the big key. The unit announces “January” in the
selected language.
Erasing Calls
To erase the calls in the audible call log, hold down the big key
for 4-seconds. The unit beeps confirming the calls have been
erased.
V olume Control
There are four volume settings - low, medium, high, and off. To
change the volume, press and release the small key very
quickly. You may find it helpful to press the key using the
eraser-end of a pencil. The key is designed so that it is difficult
to change the setting by accident. The unit beeps reflecting the
new volume setting. It beeps twice to indicate the volume is
turned OFF.
If the volume is set to OFF, incoming calls will not be announced.
Calls reviewed while the volume is OFF will be announced at
medium volume level.
