system is off. The ANSWER ON light will be off.

• To turn the system back on, press ANSWER ON. The system will announce “Calls will be answered” and then beep to confirm the system is on. The ANSWER ON light will be on.

NOTE: If the answering system is off and there is an incoming call, the system will answer after 10 rings and announce to the caller “Please enter your remote access code.” For more information about remote access codes, see page 54.

Call screening at the telephone base

If the answering system is on and the telephone base volume is not off (set to 1), you will hear the announcement and the incoming message when a call comes in. If you want the telephone base to be silent while messages are being recorded, make sure the telephone base volume is set to 1.
