When the base is in standby mode, press and hold the erase button for
three seconds to erase all previously played messages. You will hear a

recording when you activate the handset or pick up an extension phone.
TIP: Make sure the volume on the base is set loud enough for you to hear
incoming calls.

1. Wait for the caller to begin leaving a message (to hear who it is).
2. Press the exit/answerer button to access the answering system.
3. Listen as the caller leaves a message.
4. Press the talk/callback button to speak to the person or press exit/
answerer button to stop screening the call.
REMOTE ACCESS

phone, to access the answering system with your 3-digit security code.

voice menu guides you through the steps.
