Answer calls

message. A caller can leave a message of up to three minutes. If the message is 
longer than three minutes, or if the caller is silent for more than seven consecutive 
seconds, the system hangs up followed by a beep. If the system runs out of 
memory, it announces, 

“Memory is full” and beeps twice

. Then after about 10 

seconds, the system announces, ”

The machine will now hang up,” 

then hangs up.

Call screening

a message. If the answering system is on, the incoming message broadcasts through 
the speaker when a call is answered by the answering system.

PLAY

/STOP

Call intercept

When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can talk to the 
caller by answering a call using any telephone on the same line.
When you take the call, the answering system beeps and stops recording. If the 
system does not disconnect immediately, press and release the telephone switch hook.

Caller ID number announce

This system can announce the caller’s telephone number between the second and 
third ring (see 

Feature setup

 and

on pages 3 and 4 to turn this 

feature on or off).

NOTE: 

You must subscribe to caller ID service from your telephone service provider for this feature 

to work. There may be a fee for this service, and it may not be available in all areas.

When this feature is on, the system announces the caller’s number before playing 
back a message (see

 Feature setup

 and 

Feature summary 

on pages 3 and 4 to 

turn this feature on or off).

Accept blocked calls

When this feature is turned on, the system answers and records messages from 
any caller. When this feature is turned off, the system responds to blocked calls 
(from callers who have chosen to block their numbers from identification) with the 
announcement, 

“We’re sorry. Blocked calls to this number cannot be accepted.”

  

The system then hangs up without recording any incoming messages (see

 Feature 

setup

 and 

Feature summary 

on pages 3 and 4 to turn this feature on or off).
