Answering system
T
he answering system can answer and record
calls for you when you are unavailable to answer
the phone.
You can also set the unit to play a greeting
message but not to record caller messages by
selecting “Greeting only” as the recording
time setting (page 35).
Important:
R Only 1 person can access the answering
system (listen to messages, record a greeting
message, etc.) at a time.
R When callers leave messages, the unit records
the day and time of each message. Make sure
the date and time have been set correctly
(page 12).
Memory capacity (including your
g
reeting message)
The total recording capacity is about 18 minutes. A
maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.
Note:
R When message memory becomes full:
– “Messages full” is shown on the base
unit and handset display.
– The ANSWER ON/OFF indicator on the base
unit flashes rapidly if the answering system is
turned on.
– If you use the pre-recorded greeting
message, the unit automatically switches to
another pre-recorded greeting message
asking callers to call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting message,
the same message is still announced to
callers even though their messages are not
recorded.
