Preparing the Answering System

Recording Mode 

2 recording modes are available. The factory preset is “Standard recording (60 min)”, 
which provides more recording time (60 min) and standard sound quality. “Enhanced 
recording (30 min)” provides less recording time (30 min) but clearer sound quality.

Message Alert 

You can select whether or not the Ringer/Message Alert indicator on the handset 
will flash slowly when new messages have been recorded (p. 74). The factory 
preset is OFF.

The Ringer/Message Alert indicator will not flash for new messages while the 
handset is in use.

The Ringer/Message Alert indicator acts as a ringer indicator and as a message 
alert indicator. This indicator will flash rapidly when a call is received whether this 
feature is on or off.

Battery operating time may be shortened when using this feature (p. 17).
