ANSWERING DEVICE

The EXLA 8950 has a built-in answering system that answers and
records incoming calls.
You can also use your answering system to record a conversation,
leave a voice memo message for others who use the phone, or to
announce a special message to callers when you're away from your
phone.

The integrated answering device

• Digital Tapeless Recording
• 15 minutes of Recording Time
• Selective Greetings (Outgoing Messages)
• Time and Day Stamp
• Remote Message Retrieval and Room Monitor
• Toll Saver
• Conversation Recording

Digital Tapeless Recording allows you to quickly review, save or
delete the messages. You'll never have to worry about a tape
wearing out, jamming, or resetting improperly.

The Integrated Answering System is easy and convenient to use, but
please read through all of the instructions carefully.
