SETTING
UP THE ANSWERING SYSTEM
Using the Answering System Setup Menus
Your handset controls all of the answering system setup options except for the personal greeting (personal greetings must
be changed directly at the base). Here are some hints on using your handset to access your answering system:
If you have multiple bases, select the base with answering system you want to access ( see page E16 ).
When the phone is in standby, press
/MUTE
on the handset to access the answering system. REMOTE ANSWERING
MACHINE OPERATION appears on the handset display, and the system announces the number of new and old
messages.
After the first announcement, you have thirty seconds to enter your first command before the system returns to standby.
If you receive a call, remote operation is cancelled.
If another handset makes a call, remote operation is cancelled.
During remote operation “- -” appears on the base.
Note:
For ANSW. SETUP and GLOBAL SETUP menu options, make sure the line is not in use and the handsets are within range of the base.

Recording a Personal Greeting
Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a call:
“Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” You can record your own personal
outgoing greeting. Your recorded greeting must be between two seconds and thirty seconds long.
On the base, press and hold
GREET
.
The system announces, “Record greeting.” Begin recording after the beep.
The
message counter
LED displays “- -”, and then begins to count down thirty seconds.
When you finish recording, press
GREET
again or press
. You will hear a confirmation tone, and your recorded
greeting plays back for you.
