Screening Your Calls

You can use the answering system for call screening. While the system takes a
message, you can listen on the base speaker (if you turn on
Call Screen
) or from a
handset. Only one handset can screen calls at a time. If another handset tries to
screen the call, it beeps and returns to standby.

Using the System While You're Away from Home

you can use this feature, you have to program a security code.

Answering Setup
, then select
Security Code
.

MENU/OK when you’re finished.
#Remember to make a note of your new security code!

Dialing in to Your System

1. Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer.

you have new messages and 4 rings if you don’t. You can hang up during the
third ring.
-If your answering system is off, it will answer after about 10 rings and sound
a series of beeps instead of your greeting.
2. During the greeting (or beeps), press 0 and immediately enter your security
code. (If you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the system hangs up and returns to
standby.)
