Answering system overview

Call intercept

While call screening, you can press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER on the handset to stop recording and speak

to the caller.

Temporarily turning off the message alert tone

Follow the step below to temporarily silence the message alert tone:

•When the telephone base is in idle mode, press any telephone base key (except HANDSET LOCATOR).

The message alert tone is activated again with the next incoming message.

NOTES:

• When the telephone base is in idle mode, if you press DELETE

to temporarily silence the message alert tone, there is a voice prompt to direct you to press DELETE again to delete all old messages (see To delete all old messages at the telephone base on page 48). If you are not going to delete all old messages, wait at least 5 seconds to allow the telephone base to return to idle mode.

• To turn off the message alert tone, see Message alert tone on page 42.
