Call screening

You can let your answering machine
pick up a call, even if you are in.
This allows you to identify the
caller and decide whether to take
the call.
Make sure the volume on the
base unit is set to an audible level,
see page 34. Allow the incoming
call to be answered by your
Freelance XC 500 answering
machine as normal. You will hear
the caller begin to leave a message.
To screen a call from the
base unit
While listening to your
caller leaving a message,
via the base unit
loudspeaker, you can
decide to take the call by
pressing the TALK button
on the handset.
Or
If the handset is resting
on the base unit and you
decide to take the call, lift
the handset and speak to
the caller. Recording will
stop automatically.
