Answering system
About the answering system
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity
for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
If the answering system has less than three minutes, it announces, “Less than
three minutes to record.” The handset screen displays Less than 3 minutes
to record before message playback.
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The
handset screen displays Memory full and the number of messages and F
are flashing alternatively in the message counter. You cannot record new
messages until old ones have been deleted.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through remote access and
recording outgoing announcements.
Call screening at the telephone base
If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and
the incoming message broadcast at the telephone base when a call arrives.
During message recording, press /PLAY/STOP repeatedly to turn call
screening on and off for this call. Press VOLUME on the telephone base
to adjust the message volume. To change the call screening setting for all
calls see page 37.
During call screening, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base to turn
off the call screening. If the call screening is off and the answering system
has answered a call, press /PLAY/STOP or VOLUME to turn on the call
screening.
Call intercept
When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can
stop recording and talk to the caller by pressing HOME/FLASH or
/SPEAKER on the handset.
Telephone base ringer volume
Press VOLUME on the telephone base to adjust the ringer volume when
the telephone is not in use. When you set the ringer volume to zero, the base
ringer is off and the system announces, “Base ringer is off.”
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
Pressing any telephone base key (except /HANDSET LOCATOR) temporarily
silences the message alert tone.
The message alert tone plays with the next incoming message.
