Let the answer machine take the call
When a call is being received, you can push the
call to the answer machine by pressing the
button even if the answer machine is switched off
so it’s treated in the same way as the Do not
disturb setting.
Your caller will hear your outgoing message and will
only be allowed to leave a message if Answer and
record mode has been set (see page 40). If you have
call screening turned on, you’ll be able to hear the
message being left and can decide to answer the
call if you want to by pressing
.

To unlock the keypad:

it can’t be used accidentally

With the keypad locked, you
can still call the emergency
services on 999 and 112 using
preparatory dialling and you
can still answer incoming calls
and operate the in call features
as normal. When the call is
ended, the
comes on again.
