About the answering system

To screen a call at the handset:

If the answering system is on, you can hear the announcement and the incoming message with the handset when a call is answered by the answering system. While a message is being recorded, the handset shows To screen a call, press [select]. Press MENU/SELECT to screen the call.

Options while a message is being recorded:

•Press qCID/VOLUME or pDIR/VOLUME on the handset to adjust the call screening volume.

•Press OFF/CANCEL to temporarily silence the call screening.

•Press MENU/SELECT to temporarily turn on the call screening if call screening is set to off.

•Press /SPEAKER�� to broadcast the announcement and the incoming message through the speakerphone. Press again to turn off the speakerphone.

Call intercept

While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by pressing PHONE/FLASH on the handset or /SPEAKER�� on the telephone base.

Base ringer

Press q/VOLUME/p on the telephone base to adjust the ringer volume when the telephone is not in use.

You hear a sample of the ringer while adjusting the volume. The telephone base shows Ringer off when you set the volume to 0.

Temporarily turning off the message alert tone

If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every ten seconds when there are new messages. Pressing any telephone base key (except /HANDSET LOCATOR) temporarily silences the message alert tone.

If you press X/DELETE when in idle mode to temporarily turn off the message alert tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE again to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off. Only press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in your answering system.

The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
