Answering Machine
11 Answering Machine
The integrated digital answering machine offers a total recording time of up
to 15 minutes for outgoing and incoming messages. A maximum of 59 mes-
sages can be taken.
Self recorded memos are treated like messages.
You can access the answering machine from the base station as well as
from the handset. Using a telephone with tone dialling (DTMF) you have
also a PIN protected remote access.
You can select between two modes:
- Answer and record
- Answer only.
A standard announcement is already saved for every operating type at the
delivery stage. Therefore the answering machine is immediately operational.
At “Answer and record” and reaching of the maximum recording capacity the
device will automatically switch to the operating type “Answer only”.
If the answering machine is turned off the announcement for the operating
type “Answer only” will be played after approx. 10 rings.
You can see from the corresponding symbol on the display of the handset
that the answering machine is turned on.
When listening messages through the handset date and time of the respec-
tive message will be shown. For this reason date and time have to be set
correctly (menu: Clock/Alarm / Date & Time).
