Answering Calls
When the system answers a call, the caller
hears the announcement you recorded,
followed by a beep. After the beep, the
system begins recording your caller’s
message. A caller can leave a message up
to three minutes long. If the message is
longer than three minutes, or if the caller
is silent for more than seven seconds, or if
the system runs out of memory, the
system beeps once and hangs up.
Callers can skip over your announcement
by pressing #.
Message Window
The Message Window displays the 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 displays F, then the memory is full
and you’ll need to delete messages before
new ones can be recorded.
PLAY Light
The PLAY Light blinks when you have new
messages, and remains steady when you
have messages in memory that you’ve
already played. The PLAY Light is off
when there are no messages in memory.
Call Screening/Intercept

volume control so you can hear the caller’s
