Mailbox 2, press 2.”

recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the caller that you
are recording the call.

Call Monitoring
As calls come in, the answering system will answer and record messages as long as it is set for automatic
answering operation. You can use the cordless handset to listen to the callers as they leave messages, and
you can speak to a caller directly if you wish.
Monitoring Calls
1. If the handset is away from the base, press and release ANS/SYS and wait for the ANS SYS Light to
go on.
2. When the light goes on to show that you have made a connection with the answering system, you will
hear your own announcement and the caller’s message through the handset.
3. To end call monitoring without answering the call, press and release OFF or return the handset to the
base.
Call Intercept
At any time while the answering system is taking a call – during the outgoing announcement or while the
system is recording the caller’s message – you can interrupt the answering system and take the call. If the
cordless handset is in the base, just pick up the handset and speak to the caller. If the handset is away from
the base, press PHONE and take the call as soon as the PHONE Light goes on. You can also pick up the
handset of any extension phone on the same line to take the call.
The answering system should stop playing the announcement (or recording the message). If it doesn’t stop,
quickly press and release the switchhook of the extension phone you are using, or press PHONE on the
handset.
Room Monitor
Once you’ve established a connection with the answering system from a remote touch tone telephone, you
can listen to any activity near the base for up to 30 seconds.
