About the answering system
Call screening at the handset
If the answering system is on, you can hear the announcement and the incoming message with the handset when a call is answered by the answering system. While a message is being recorded, the handset shows To screen call, press [SELECT]. Press MENU/SELECT to screen the call.
Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by pressing PHONE/FLASH on the handset.
Base ringer
Press q/VOL/p 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
If the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are new or missed messages. Pressing any telephone base key (except 
/HANDSET LOCATOR) 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 off. Only press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in your answering system.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
