Screening incoming calls
You can screen calls by leaving the answering function on (see page 59) while you are
at home. When a call is answered, you can hear the message being recorded through
the base unit 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 unit and the
cordless handset. However, the following procedures are required in order to screen
incoming calls on the cordless handset.
