The latest kufuffle

here

Along w/ a new Telecom provider which obviously had its share of disruption

came a new handsfree phone set from Walmart

The situation is that the base phone for handsfree has to be w/in 6 ft of the modem which is the broadcast hub for all services in the house. That location ( close to the TV itself ) is not handy for us to pick up or visually identify callers.

Thus, instead of the pre-owned 3 handset system we bought a 5 handset system.

We charged all units overnight. Then this morning, I plugged in the base unit and handsets.
Lets try the system out
Yepper, 5 phones ring all over the house, crazy. 
OK.  Silence 3 phones.
Try again.
Oops ! By default when volume is on ( 2 phones ) the handsets announce the caller < call from unknown caller > Annoying !!!!!!
How to turn off - caller ID announce.
Checked the booklet - YES ! its there
Punch in the code
Try again ------ Crikey she still is talking to us.

On line, at YouTube, there is a video " Turn ON Caller ID Announce " I had failed to choose < handset  or base >
Try again
Success

To quote Emily Dickenson, " Success in counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed "
[ seems to be me all the time, these days ]

" To comprehend a nectar 
Requires sorest need
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day
Can tell how sweet 
The call of victory
As he defeated dying
Upon whose forbidden ear
The distant sounds of trumpets
Break agonized and clear

The weather is gray and the wind is up - making the day feel cool
To-morrow is the 34 F day
and then we warm.

frost on the pumpkin to-night
