Turning on the answering function
Press on the base
phone.
The ANSWER ON/OFF button lights
up. “Answering function is on” is
announced.
Mailbox usage
This phone offers you three voice mailboxes, providing a convenient way to share
the mailbox feature with other members of your household or business.
When a caller calls
The caller can choose one of the two ways to leave a message:
• If calling from a touch-tone phone, the caller select a mailbox by pressing
(MAILBOX 1), (MAILBOX 2) or (MAILBOX 3) while the
caller hears the greeting. The greeting stops and a beep will sound, then the caller
can start recording a message.
• Wait until the greeting finishes, then start recording a message. When the caller
does not select a mailbox, the message is automatically recorded to MAILBOX 1.
Notes
• If four minutes have passed while recording the incoming message, the line will be
disconnected automatically.
• If the message is shorter than two seconds, it will not be recorded.
Tip
Even if a power interruption occurs, the incoming messages are not erased.

Tips
• The answering machine will automatically answer a call after 10 rings, even if the
answering function is off and announces greeting message to prompt the caller to
turn on the answering function.
• You can also turn on or off the answering function from an outside phone, see
“Operating from an outside phone” on page 46.
