Answerer Operation

Call Answering

When a call comes in, the unit will ring the number of times set, play the greeting, and
record the incoming call.
You can:
• Answer the call before the unit answers.
• Pick up the phone during the greeting.
• Listen to the incoming message (Call screening).
• Pick up the phone during the incoming message, if desired.
• Disconnect the caller by pressing the PLAY/STOP button.

Auto Disconnect

Auto Disconnect stops the unit from playing the greeting or recording when you pick up
the phone and answer the call. If the greeting or recording does continue to play after
answering, press the PLAY/STOP button.
If you would like to screen the call, allow the system to answer before picking up the
phone.

Playing Messages

Use the PLAY/STOP button to play messages. The unit first plays new messages in the
order received. If there are no messages, the unit announces, "You have no messages." If
there are no new messages, the old messages are played back.
When playing messages, the message number and the date-time stamp will be shown on
the display.
• To play messages, press and release the PLAY/STOP button.
• To stop playback, press and release the PLAY/STOP button again.
• To restart the message that is playing, press and hold the REPEAT button until the
message restarts.
