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, see pages 62-63.
Call screening at the telephone base
Call screening allows you to hear the
announcement and the incoming message
when a call comes in. You have to make sure
the call screening feature (page 57) and the
answering system are turned on, and telephone
base volume is not off.
Call intercept
While you are screening a call, you can stop
recording and speak to the caller by pressing
PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER on the cordless
handset, or by picking up the corded handset or
pressing SPEAKER on the base.
