Message Playback (Cont.)
Call Screening
To listen to an incoming call without
picking up the phone, let your unit
answer the phone when it rings. If you
don't want to talk to the caller, let your
unit take a message, and adjust the
volume control on the side of the unit to
listen. If you don't want to listen to the
caller's message, lower the volume.
IMPORTANT
During a power outage, your unit will
NOT function even if a 9 volt battery is
installed. The battery will save your
outgoing greeting and any incoming
messages you may already have
received.
While playing messages, press and
release the ANSWER ON/OFF/ERASE
button. The unit will announce "Press
ERASE button again to erase message."
Press the ANSWER ON/OFF/ERASE
button again withing 5 seconds. It will
announce "Message erased" and erase
that particular message. At the end of the
last message, press and hold the
ANSWER ON/OFF/ERASE button;
ALL MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED.
Message Capacity Full
Detection
When the message capacity
is full, the unit will answer
the phone and say "Hello, our
machine can't accept
messages, please call again,"
pause 10 seconds, and then
automatically disconnect the
telephone line. The message
counter will flash and display
"F".
Call Interrupt
If the unit answers before you do, you
can turn it off by picking up any
extension phone or pressing SPEAKER
button on your base. If the unit does not
stop answering, press the hook switch or
FLASH for about one second and
release. You may also press the STOP
button on the base.

Callers will be unaware that you are
screening their calls. If you want to talk
to the caller, pick up an extension phone
or press SPEAKER button on your base.

If an AC power failure occurs, or the
power plug comes out of the wall, your
