Answering System Operation
This system automatically saves your messages until you delete them, and can store
approximately 15 minutes of messages, memos and announcements (up to a
maximum of 99 messages). A message or memo can be up to 4 minutes long.
If the system has less than 30 seconds of recording time left, it automatically turns
off. The system will still answer after 10 rings, announce "Memory full, please enter
your security code" and wait for the caller to enter the code to access remote
functions. (See Remote Access beginning on page 31 for details.)
When you have new messages or memos, the PLAY/STOP light for each mail-
box with new messages will flash.
Listen to Messages
A Mailbox key will flash if you have new
messages. If all messages in that
Mailbox are old, the key will glow steadily.
Press the PLAY/STOP button for the
mailbox you want to review. The system
announces the mailbox number, the
number of new messages and the number of old messages. The system then
plays only new messages in the Mailbox. After all new messages are played,
press the PLAY/STOP button again to hear all (old) messages.
Before each message or memo plays, the system announces the day and time it was
received.
While a message plays, the message window displays the number of that message.
Press REPEAT/SLOW during playback to
hear a message again. If you press
REPEAT/SLOW twice in the first two
seconds of a message, the system will
backup to replay the previous message.
Press SKIP/QUICK during playback to
skip to the next message.
Press and hold SKIP/QUICK or REPEAT/
SLOW during message playback to speed
up or slow down playback of a message.
After playing the last message in a mailbox, the system announces "End of
messages." If the system has less than five minutes of recording time left, it
announces the remaining time.
