Screening Your Calls
Another feature your answering system gives you is call screening.
While the system is taking a message, you can hear the caller on the
base speaker (if you turn on Call Screen) or from a handset. Only one
handset at a time can screen calls. If another handset is screening the
call, the handset beeps and returns to standby.
