Call screening, priority call and call intercept

Call screening

If CALL SCREENING is ON (see Feature summary on page 15), the incoming messages on your telephone are played through the speaker while they are being recorded. While call screening, you can slide the VOL switch to adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Priority call

You may choose to give your priority code (see Feature summary on page 15) to someone special so you know when they are calling. When the person calls, he should enter your priority code while the answering system is playing the outgoing announcement. The answering system asks the caller to “Please wait a moment.” The telephone then plays the priority call tone for 30 seconds to alert you that a person with a high priority is calling.

Call intercept

While call screening, you can lift the handset or press SPEAKER to stop recording and speak to the caller.

During the 30-second priority call tone, you can lift the handset or press SPEAKER to stop the tone and speak to the caller.
