About the Answering Machine

Your CapTel 2400iBT can take messages for you when you are unavailable, 
for you to play back later. When checking your messages, you can listen to 
the messages as well as see captions. The CapTel Answering Machine saves 
up to 100 messages. Each message can be up to 90 seconds long. If you 
have more than one answering machine in your home or offi  ce, make sure 
only one answering machine device is turned on/active at a time. If you 
rely on voice mail service for messages, the CapTel Answering Machine 
should be turned off .
