6-7. Chain Dialing
If you often have to enter a series of digits or some type of code number during a call, you can save that code
number to a phonebook entry. When your call connects, just use the phonebook speed dial to transmit the
saved code number. (This is referred to as chain dialing.)
Enter the code number (up to twenty digits) into the phonebook (See section 6-1 on Entering a New
Number into the Phonebook). Be sure to enter the code number into the phonebook exactly as you would
enter it during a call.
During a call, when you hear the prompt that tells you to enter the code number, press
[ /memory]
to
open the phonebook.
Find the phonebook entry number you want to use (See section 6-2 on Finding Phonebook Entries).
Press
[select/channel]
. The phone sends the digits of the code number exactly as you saved them in the
phonebook entry.

7-1. Setting Up the Answering System
Here are some general tips on using your answering system menu:
To open the answering system menu, press
[menu/clock]
on the base.
The voice prompt announces each menu item. Press
[menu/clock]
to go to the next item. If you are already
at the last menu item, the base beeps and returns to standby.
When you hear the menu item you want, use
[vol/select/ ]
and
[vol/select/ ]
to scroll through the
options for that menu item. To quickly scroll through the options when setting the time or security code,
press and hold
[vol/select/ ]
or
[vol/select/ ]
.
Press
[set]
to select the current option.
If you wait longer than five seconds before pressing a key, the system returns to standby. When you’re setting
the time, you have two minutes before the system exits the menu.
Press
[
]
to exit the menu and return to standby.
If you receive an incoming call or if a handset presses the
[TALK/flash]
, the system automatically exits the
menu.

7-2. Setting Your Outgoing Message (Greeting)
The answering system comes with two prerecorded outgoing messages, or
greetings
. The default greeting says:
"Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone."
If you change the answering system to announce only (so it won’t record any messages), the greeting changes
to:
"Hello. No one is available to take your call. Please call again."
Recording your own greeting
When you record your own greeting, the answering system does not delete the two prerecorded greetings: it
saves your greeting along with them.
With the phone in standby, press and hold
[greeting]
. The base beeps and announces “Record greeting.”
Start recording your message. Your greeting must be at least two seconds but no more than thirty seconds.
The message counter display counts down from thirty so you know how many seconds you have left.
When you are finished recording, press
[greeting]
,
[
]
or
[set]
. The base sounds a confirmation tone,
plays your greeting back for you.
Selecting a greeting
You can switch between the prerecorded greeting and your personal greeting any time:
With the phone in standby, press
[greeting]
to hear the currently-selected greeting.
While the greeting is playing, press
[greeting]
again to switch to the other greeting. After the greeting
finishes playing, the base sounds a confirmation tone.
