SETTING THE SYSTEM’S
VOLUME
Adjust the answering system’s VOL-
UME to a comfortable level. (This does
not affect the volume of the message
the caller hears.)
SCREENING CALLS
To screen calls, let the answering sys-
tem answer them. Listen to the caller’s
message through the answering sys-
tem’s speaker. If you decide to answer
the call, pick up any phone on the
same phone line as the answering
system. The answering system stops
recording and resets to answer the
next call.
Note: If you pick up the phone just as
the answering system answers, the
answering system might not stop play-
ing the message. If this happens,
hang up the phone for a moment then
pick it up again.
PLAYING MESSAGES
When you have messages, the red
light on the
PLAY button blinks. If you
have four messages or less, the light
blinks once for each message stored.
(If you have two messages, the light
blinks twice followed by a pause, then
blinks twice more, and so on.) If you
have more than four messages, the
light blinks continuously.
To play the messages, press PLAY .
The answering system beeps, re-
winds, then plays the messages.
To pause playback for up to 60 sec-
onds, press
PLAY . To restart play-
back, press PLAY again.
Notes:
• If you do not restart playback
within 60 seconds, the tape fast-
forwards to the end of the last
incoming message, as though
playback was never started.
• If a call comes in while playback is
paused, the tape immediately
fast-forwards to the end of the last
incoming message and then
answers the call.
• After you play back all the mes-
sages, the answering system
beeps twice, rewinds to the begin-
ning, and resets to answer calls.
To save the messages, open the cas-
sette compartment door and press
SAVE before a new call is recorded.
