ANSWERING MACHINE OPERATION
This section discusses the buttons and features on the answering machine.
MESSAGES INDICATOR
The MESSAGES indicator shows you how many new messages you have.
The answer on/off button must be on in order for the MESSAGES indicator
to work.
SCREENING CALLS FROM THE BASE
You may screen incoming calls by waiting for the caller to begin leaving a
message (to hear who it is), then pick up the handset, and press TALK/
callback to speak to the caller. The answering machine automatically stops
recording when you activate the handset or pick up an extension phone.
TIP: Make sure the volume on the base is set loud enough to hear your
incoming calls.
MESSAGE PLAYBACK
The messages indicator lets you know when you have messages. To play
messages, press play/stop.
While a message is playing, you can do the following:
Press play/stop to stop the message playback.
Press and release rev (review) to restart the current message; continue
to press and release rev (review) to go to previous messages.
Press and release skip to go to the next message.
Press play/stop to stop message playback.
MEMORY FULL
When the memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings. You should
erase some messages so the answering machine can record new messages.
