Call screening/

Call intercept

You can let your answering machine pick up a call, even if you are in. This allows you to identify your caller and decide whether to take the call.

Make sure the volume is set to an audible level, see page 37. Allow the incoming call to be answered by the answering machine as normal. You will hear the caller begin to leave

a message.

To screen a call via the handset (when the handset is off the base unit)

When your Quartet 3500

telephone rings, press the SCREEN SCREEN option button.

You can hear your caller begin to leave a message. The display will show Screening.

You can adjust the call screening volume using the UP or DOWN button.

If you decide to take the call, press the TALK button. Recording will stop automatically.

If you want to end call screening and let the answering machine take the call and finish recording the message, press the CLEAR button.

To screen a call from the base unit

While listening to your caller leaving a message via the base unit loudspeaker, you can decide to take the call by pressing the TALK button on the handset.

Or

If the handset is resting in the base unit and you decide to take the call, lift the handset off the base and speak to the caller.
