You can screen incoming calls by waiting
for the caller to begin leaving a message
(to hear who it is), then pick up the hand-
set, and press TALK to talk to the caller. The
answering machine automatically stops
recording when you activate the handset or
pick up an extension phone.
TIP:
Make sure the volume on the base is set
loud enough to hear your incoming calls.
