Using Call Screening

2Make sure the Call Screening feature is on (see page 49).
3Make sure the volume is set to at least level 2 so you can hear the caller’s message.
4To answer the call, press ON on the handset.
Note: If you pick up an extension phone during the outgoing announcement and the announcement does not stop, press and release ON again.
