Screening incoming calls
You can screen calls by leaving the answering function on (see page 60) while you are
at home. When a call is answered, you can hear the message being recorded through
the base phone or cordless handset but the caller cannot hear you. Then, you can
decide whether to answer the call or not. This function is available both the base
phone and the cordless handset. However, the following procedures are required in
order to screen incoming calls on the cordless handset.
To screen incoming calls
on the cordless handset
Press (HOLD/PLAY BACK) while
“ANSWERING” is displayed.
“CALL SCREENING” appears on
the display of the cordless handset.
To answer the call
Pick up the handset from the base
phone or press (SPEAKERPHONE)
on the base phone, or press (TALK)
on the cordless handset.
Recording is stopped and you can
speak to the caller.
Notes
• If you press (HOLD/PLAY BACK) while the greeting is running, “PLEASE WAIT…” will appear
on the display, then once the message recording commences it will change to call screening
status.
• If the answering volume is set to minimum, you cannot screen the calls on the base phone.
Tips
• You can conclude call screening by pressing (OFF) on the cordless handset.
• You can also answer the call by picking up the handset on another phone if it is connected to
the same line.
