Screening Incoming Calls; Screening Incoming Calls On The Cordless Handset; To Answer The Call - Sony PP-A2780 Operating Instructions Manual

Screening incoming calls

You can screen calls by leaving the answering function on (see page 67) while you are
at home. When a call is answered, you can hear the message being recorded through
the base phone 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
phone and the cordless handset. However, the following procedures are required in
order to screen incoming calls on the cordless handset.
(TALK)
Note
If the answering volume is set to minimum, you cannot screen the calls on the base phone.
Tips
• You can conclude call screening by pressing (OFF) on the cordless handset.
• You can also answer the call by picking up the handset on another phone if it is connected to
the same line.
