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 35).

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 11).
Memory capacity (including your

The total recording capacity is about 16 minutes. A
maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.

When message memory becomes full:

“

is shown on the base
unit and handset display.

unit flashes rapidly if the answering system is
turned on.

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

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