Screening Calls

If you activate the call screening feature, you can listen to callers leaving a message without answering the phone (see Activating Call Screening on page 46). You can always hear callers from the base speaker. To screen an incoming call from the handset:

•Press [select/] when the system is answering. If another handset is screening a call, you will hear a beep and you will not be able to screen the call.

•To answer the call, press [ /flash].

•To stop screening the call, press [ ].

Turning Off the Message Alert Tone

When all new messages are played back, the message alert tone will automatically deactivate. The tone will not deactivate until all new messages are played back. To quickly turn off the tone, press any key on the base.
