Answering system
Use the answering system menu of a system handset to turn on or off the answering
system, set up the announcement message, activate the call screening, or change
the number of rings, remote access code, message alert tone and message
recording time. If your answering system is turned off and you change any of its
settings, the answering system automatically turns on again.
You may also turn on or off the answering system at the telephone base.
