Caller ID Number Announce NOTE: For these features to work, you must subscribe to Caller Identification service from your telephone service provider.

Accept Blocked Calls When this feature is set to OFF, the system will respond to "blocked" calls (those from callers who have chosen to block their numbers from identification) with the pre-recorded announcement,"We're sorry, blocked calls to this number cannot be accepted." The system then hangs up without recording a message. When this feature is set to ON, it will answer and record messages from any caller. Message Window The Message Window displays the total number of messages that have been recorded. If there are more than nine messages recorded, the Message Window alternately displays the two digits of the total number of messages recorded. If the Message Window displayed F, then the memory is full and you'll need to delete messages before new one can be recorded.

The PLAY Light is off when there are no messages in memory. Listen to Your Messages As the system plays back messages, the Message Window displays the number of the message playing. Before playing each message, the system announces the day and time the message was received.
