Selecting the answering mode
You can set the answering machine to record
incoming messages (normal mode), or just
make an announcement without recording
messages (announcement only mode).
You can record your own greeting, or use the
factory pre-recorded greetings.
In the normal mode, you also have the option
of having a beep to tell you if you have
received any new messages.

Note
The same greeting is used regardless of the answering mode. Therefore, if you decide to change
the mode, make sure that you record a new greeting to match the answering mode.
When the memory is full
The maximum recording area of this phone’s memory is about 18 minutes* (including
the greeting, messages, and memo). If the remaining recording area becomes less than
one minute, “F” flashes on the display, and the phone automatically switches to
announcement only mode, which does not record messages, and the greeting will be
switched to the pre-recorded greeting.
* Available time for recording at NORM (Long) sound quality.
If you wish to record more messages, erase the existing messages (see page 45). You
can also erase the messages from an outside phone (see page 50).
Note
The time for the memory to become full depends on the REC. QUALITY switch setting.
