Answering system
Answering system mode
Unless you change it, the answering system will be
on and ready to record messages. You can turn the
answering system off, but if you do so, the answering
system will not answer calls and record incoming
messages.
To turn the answering system on or off:
• Press ANSWER ON to turn off your answering
system. The system will announce “Calls will
not be answered” and then beep to confirm the
system is off. The ANSWER ON light will be off.
• To turn the system back on, press ANSWER ON.
The system will announce “Calls will be answered”
and then beep to confirm the system is on. The
ANSWER ON light will be on.
NOTE: If the answering system is off and there is an
incoming call, the system will answer after 10 rings and
announce to the caller, “Please enter your remote access
code.” For more information about remote access codes,
see pages 66-67.
Call screening at the telephone base
If the answering system is on and the telephone
base volume is not off (set to 2 or higher), you
will hear the announcement and the incoming
message when a call comes in. If you want the
telephone base to be silent while messages are
being recorded, make sure the telephone base
volume is set to 1.
Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and
speak to the caller by pressing
HOME/FLASH or SPEAKER on the handset.
