Answering system
The 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. Select “Greeting
Only” as the recording time setting
(page 36).
Important:
L Only 1 person can access the
answering system (listen to
messages, record a greeting
message, etc.) at a time.
L 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
15).
L The unit’s answering system will not
answer incoming calls on your
FaxAbility number.
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including
your greeting message) is about 20
minutes. A maximum of 64 messages
can be recorded.
Note:
L If message memory becomes full:
– “Answer Sys. Full” is shown
on the handset display.
– the answer on indicator on the base
unit flashes rapidly when the
answering system is turned on.
L When the message memory becomes
full:
– 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.
