After you access the answerer, use the marked handset keys just as if you were

for details on functions). The functions are listed on the handset above each number
key. For example, to play messages:

2. Listen as the caller leaves a message.
3. Press the talk button to speak to the person or press ans button to stop
screening the call.
MEMORY FULL
When the unit’s internal memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings, beeps and
waits for the 3-digit security code. If you don't enter the security code within 10 seconds
after the unit beeps, the phone hangs up.
You must erase some of the messages in order for the system to record new incoming
messages.
