3.3 Using Answering Machine Emulation (AME)
When your phone is allowed AME, your calls are connected to your voice mail directly, and, like a normal
Answering Machine, the
caller’s voice is played over your speaker as it is recorded in the mailbox. Thus, you
can screen the call before answering. There are two methods of notification and call screening provided, Ring
or Speaker mode.
Ring mode
— In the Ring mode, the AME flexible button will flash to notify you of a call. You may
press the flexible button to hear the caller as the voice message is recorded.
Speaker mode
— In the Speaker mode, the caller’s voice is broadcast over the speaker of your iPECS
Phone automatically.
Your iPECS Phone must be assigned with an AME Flex button for proper operation. AME is supported only on
iPECS Phones.
To screen a call in Ring mode:

voice mailbox. In the Speaker mode, broadcast is automatic.
