GE 25860 User Manual

While talking on the phone, you might need to manually change the channel 

in order to reduce static caused by appliances, such as baby monitors, garage 

door openers, microwave ovens, or other cordless phones. Press and release 

the del/chan button to move to the next clear channel.

You may access the answering system with the cordless handset or from 

any tone-dial compatible telephone.

1.  Press the transfer/answerer button to access the answering system. 
2. Use the corresponding handset keys just like you would use the base 

buttons (see “Answering System Setup”). The button functions are 

located on the handset below each number key. For example, to play 

messages: 

•  Press the transfer/answerer button. The display shows ANSWERER REMOTE.
•  Press 2 (play/stop).
•  When you are finished listening to your messages, press the  

transfer/answerer button again.

The answering system is active when the indicator on the base is on.

Use the handset to screen calls even when you can’t hear the answering 

system. 

When the answering system picks up:

1.  Press the transfer/answerer button to access the answering system.
2. Listen as the caller leaves a message.
3. Press the talk/callback button to speak to the person or press the transfer/

answerer button to stop screening the call.
