Answering system operation
Call screening, priority call and call
intercept
Call screening
If CALL SCREENING is ON (see Feature summary
on page 16), the incoming messages on your
telephone are played through the speaker while
they are being recorded. While call screening, you
can slide the VOL switch to adjust the volume
to a comfortable level.
Priority call
You may choose to give your priority code (see
PRIORITY CODE on page 17) to some special
people so you know when they are calling.
When they call, they should enter your priority
code while the answering system is playing the
outgoing announcement. The answering system
asks the caller to “Please wait a moment.” The
telephone then plays the priority call tone for 30
seconds to alert you that a person with a high
priority is calling.
Call intercept
While call screening, you can lift the handset or
press SPEAKER to stop recording and speak to
the caller.
During the 30-second priority call tone, you can
lift the handset or press SPEAKER to stop the
tone and speak to the caller.
