Using the answering machine
You can operate your Freestyle 1500 Plus answering machine from
the handset, the base unit or from another telephone. You can also
operate all functions while the handset is face up on the base.
Your Freestyle 1500 Plus can digitally record up
to 14
1
/
2
minutes of messages, with each incoming
message lasting a maximum of 3 minutes.
Leave messages for family or colleagues by
recording a memo on your Freestyle 1500 Plus.
A memo can last for the length of time available in
the memory - maximum of 14
1
/
2
minutes.
You can set and record your own outgoing
message direct from the handset.
Mains power failure/low back-up battery alert
In the event of a power failure, the date, time and
outgoing message will revert to the original factory
settings. A small flashing red dot on the base unit
display will indicate this. To reset the power failure
light, press any of the three buttons on the base unit.
Your Freestyle 1500 Plus will not record messages
during a power failure and the clock may need
resetting. See ‘Setting the date and time’, page 22.
If a back-up battery is running low, the red dot will
light up permanently to remind you to change it.
If there is a silence lasting longer than 4 seconds
during message recording, your Freestyle 1500 Plus
will stop and automatically hang up.
