Call Screening
When the answering machine is switched on,

the message. If you decide to answer the call,
the answering machine will stop when you pick
up any handset from the base or charging
station (or press the
TALK
button) and allow
you to speak direct to the caller.
If you want to carry on screening the call you
must press the
✔
button before either lifting the
handset from the base station or pressing the
TALK
button (if the handset is away from the
base station). Once you have pressed the
✔
button the display shows
