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 calls, it beeps and returns to standby.

Using the System While You're Away from Home
You can dial in to your answering system from any touch-tone phone.
Before you can use this feature, you must program a security code.
Programming a Security Code
With the phone in standby, open the menu; select
Answering Setup
, then
select
Security Code
. Use the number keypad to enter a two-digit security
code (
01

99
). Press

when you’re finished.

Remember to make a note of your new security code!
Dialing In to Your System
1. Call your phone number and then wait for the system to answer. (If
turned off, it answers after 10 rings and sounds a series of beeps.)
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.
3. The system announces the time, number of
messages in memory, and a help prompt. It
beeps to indicate it's waiting for a command.
4. When you hear beeping, enter a 2-digit
command from the chart. Each key must be
pressed within 2 seconds of each other or
the entry will be timed out.
