About the answering system
Call screening at the handset
If the answering system is on, you can hear the announcement and the
incoming message with the handset when a call is answered by the answering
system. While a message is being recorded, the handset shows To screen call,
press [SELECT]. Press MENU/SELECT to screen the call.
Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by
pressing PHONE/FLASH on the handset.
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
If the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10
seconds when there are new or missed messages. Pressing any telephone base
key (except /HANDSET LOCATOR) temporarily silences the message alert tone.
If you press X/DELETE in idle mode to temporarily turn off the message alert
tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE again to delete
all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off. Only press
X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
