Answering System
You can set one or more additional phones to act as an Answering System (up to 16 units
in the system), each Answering System can pick up only one line at a time. To prevent
several Answering System units picking up the same call, you should assign different pickup
delay times for each Answering System unit.
The Answering System can store approximately 60 minutes of messages, memos, and all the
announcements, for a total of up to 99 messages. The maximum recording time for each
incoming message can be set in MENU.
