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 the call screening by pressing /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. The 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 MUTE on the telephone base. The 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 lift the corded handset on the telephone base.
