The VM200 is able to screen your incoming calls by using Three-Way Calling and
AT&T VoiceMail. Working in conjunction with these two services, the VM200’s built-in
speaker allows you to listen to callers while they leave you an AT&T VoiceMail
message. Caller Identification information will also be displayed at this time. This
information will automatically be added to your calls list as discussed in Viewing
Calls/Caller Identification, section.
While screening a message, If you wish to adjust the volume of the speaker, use the

keys. The ▲ key will increase the volume, and the ▼ key will decrease the
volume.
☞ While you are screening a message, if you decide you want to speak to the
caller, simply pick up the handset of your telephone and you will
automatically be connected.
