Message monitor mode (live call screening)

(Not available on 12-Key Feature Phone.)
Message monitor mode, or live call screening, lets you hear a caller leaving a message in your mailbox,
just as with your home answering machine. You turn this feature on or off as part of user programming
— PROGRAM 3 6. While you hear the caller through your speaker, you have the following options:
Option Result
Lift the handset You intercept the call
Do nothing The system records the message to your mailbox for your later retrieval
Press MUTE/DND Temporarily mutes your speaker (the system continues to record the message to
your mailbox)
Note: During monitor mode, you will hear a call ring, then subdued ringing while the caller is hearing your
personal greeting, then their message. You can intercept the call at any time.

Personal greeting reminder

If you frequently change your personal greeting, use this option; it sets your station to remind you of
your current greeting. The first time you use your phone after it has been idle (for the period you set in
this function), the system automatically plays your current greeting (and gives you the option to change it).
The range is 0 (no reminder) to 500 hours. To set this, press PROGRAM 3 2.
Example: If you change your personal greeting only when out of town for a few days, set the reminder interval
to 72 hours; you'll be reminded if your phone hasn't been used for three days or if you're away for a
couple of days. If you change your greeting several times a day, set the reminder for about 3 hours.

to program a headset key if using a Cordless Handset. For headset use with a Cordless Handset, ESI supports only the headset
