Operating the desktop
phone answering
machine
You can operate the answering machine that
is integrated into the base telephone using
the keys on the desktop phone
via a registered handset or by remote opera-
tion (other phone/mobile phone). Your own
announcement message or advisory mes-
sage can only be recorded via the desktop
phone or a handset.
The device has three answering machines
(AM1, AM2, AM3), which can be activated
and used independently of each other.
Once the desktop phone has been set up,
AM1 is activated and all desktop phone
MSNs are assigned to it as receive connec-
tions.
AM2 and AM3 are available once you have
assigned at least one receive connection to
them.
Each answering machine only receives calls
that are directed to its receive connections.
Each answering machine can only be oper-
ated via the end devices (desktop phone/
handsets) to which at least one of the
machine's receive connections is assigned.
Assigning receive connections
Prerequisite:
At least two MSNs have been
configured on your desktop phone.
