The system automatically saves all incoming messages until you delete them. You 
can store approximately 60 minutes of messages, memos and announcements 
(up to a maximum of 99 messages).
Before playing each message, the system announces the day and time the 
message was received. If

 Store caller number

 is activated, the system also 

announces the caller’s telephone number (see 

Store caller number

 under 

Feature 

setup

 on page 4). After playing the last message, the system announces, “

messages.”

Messages cannot be deleted until they have been reviewed, and deleted 
messages cannot be retrieved.
