Answering system

The answering system can answer and record 
calls for you when you are unavailable to 
answer the phone.
You can also set the unit to play a greeting 
message but not to record caller messages by 
selecting 

Greeting only

 as the recording 

time setting (page 33).

Important:

L

Only 1 person can access the answering 
system (listen to messages, record a 
greeting message, etc.) at a time.

L

When callers leave messages, the unit 
records the day and time of each message. 
Make sure the date and time have been set 
correctly (page 12).

Memory capacity (including your 
greeting message)

The total recording capacity is about 18 
minutes. A maximum of 64 messages can be 
recorded.

Note:

L

When message memory becomes full:

Messages full

 is shown on the 

handset display.

– The ANSWER ON/OFF indicator on the 

base unit flashes rapidly if the answering 
system is turned on.

– If you use the pre-recorded greeting 

message, the unit automatically switches 
to another pre-recorded greeting 
message asking callers to call again 
later.

– If you recorded your own greeting 

message, the same message is still 
announced to callers even though their 
messages are not recorded.
