About the answering system

Call screening at the telephone base

If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and the incoming message are audible at the telephone base when a call arrives.

You can turn call screening on or off using a cordless handset (see page 21) or using the telephone base. When call screening is off, you can temporarily turn on call screening by pressing /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base.

Call screening will be off for the next incoming call.

If call screening is on and you want to silence the telephone base while it is recording messages, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. Call screening will be on for the next call.

Call intercept

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

Temporarily turn off the message alert tone

If the new message alert tone is turned on (see page 23), the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are new or missed messages. Pressing any telephone base key 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 turned off. Only press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in the answering system.

The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
