You can screen incoming calls by waiting for the caller to begin leaving a
message (to hear who it is), then pick up the handset, and press TALK/
CALLBACK to talk to the caller. The answering system automatically stops
recording when you activate the handset or pick up an extension phone.
TIP: Make sure the volume on the base is set loud enough to hear your
incoming calls.

button on the base to go to the next message.
