Answering system
The base unit’s answering system can answer landline calls after a certain number of rings.
When it answers a call, it plays a greeting message and can then record caller messages.
Messages are stored in the base unit, and you can play them using a handset when at home or
remotely by using an outside telephone. The answering system cannot answer calls if you are
talking on the landline.

– If you use a pre-recorded greeting message, the base unit will answer calls with a different
pre-recorded message that asks callers to call again later. (If you have recorded your own
greeting message, it will continue to be played for callers.) No new messages will be
recorded.
