Answering system overview

Call intercept

While call screening, you can stop the recording and speak to the caller.

If the call is screened at the base, press

on the handset to stop recording and speak to the caller.
If the call is screened at the handset, press

on the

handset to stop recording and speak to the caller. You can press

to switch between the speakerphone and the handset.

Temporarily turn off the message alert tone

If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every ten
seconds when there are new messages. Pressing any telephone base key
(except

) temporarily silences the message alert tone.

If you press

when in idle mode to temporarily turn off the

message alert tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press

again to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off.
Only press

a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in

your answering system.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
