About the answering system
Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by
pressing PHONE/FLASH or /SPEAKERSPEAKER on the cordless handset, pressing
/SPEAKERSPEAKER on the telephone base, or lifting the corded handset.
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every
10 seconds when there are new messages. Pressing any telephone base
key (except /HANDSET LOCATOR) temporarily silences the message
alert tone.
If you press X/DELETE when in idle mode to temporarily turn off the
message alert tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE
again to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off.
Only press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in
your answering system.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
Message playback

Press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base to listen to the messages.
If there are new and old messages, press qCID or pDIR to select >Play
new msgs or >Play old msgs, then press MENU/SELECT or /PLAY/STOP.
If there are only new or only old messages, they are played automatically.
