SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the answering sys- tem answer them, then listen to the caller’s message through the answer- ing system’s speaker. If you decide to answer the call, pick up any phone on the same phone line as the answering system (including the system’s phone). The answering system stops recording and resets to answer the next call.
Note: If you pick up the phone just as the answering system answers, the answering system might not stop re- cording the message. If this happens, hang up the phone for a moment then pick it up again.
PLAYING MESSAGES
When you have messages, the MES- SAGE indicator flashes. If you have four messages or less, the light flash- es once for each message stored. (For example, if you have two mes- sages, the light flashes twice, pauses, then flashes twice more, and so on.) If you have more than four messages, the light flashes continuously.
To play the messages, press PLAY. The answering system beeps, re- winds, then plays the messages.
To pause playback for up to 60 sec- onds, press PLAY. To restart play- back, press PLAY again.
Notes:
•If you do not restart playback within 60 seconds, the tape fast- forwards to the end of the last re- corded message, as though play- back was never started.
•If a call comes in while playback is paused, the tape
•If you turn VOLUME to OFF during playback, the system stops play- back, the tape
After you play back all the messages, the answering system beeps twice and resets to answer calls. New mes- sages will be recorded over the mes- sages you have heard.
