Call screening at the telephone base

If the answering system is on and the telephone base volume is not off (set to 1 or higher), you hear the announcement and the incoming message when receiving a call. If you want the telephone base to be silent while recording messages, make sure you set the telephone base volume to 0.

Call intercept

-OR-

•Press SPEAKER or lift the corded handset.

Base ringer

Press VOLUME pq 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 announces, “Base ringer is off.” when you set the volume to 0.

Temporarily turning off the message alert tone

Pressing any telephone base key temporarily silences the message alert tone.

If you press X DELETE when in idle mode, there is a voice prompt to direct you to press X DELETE again to delete all old messages, and the message alert tone is temporarily off.

The message alert tone is reactivated with the next incoming message.
