ANSWERING MACHINE

Your phone includes a telephone answering machine (TAM) that records
unanswered calls when it is on. The answering machine can store up to 59
messages with a maximum total recording time of approximately 15
minutes. As well as recording incoming messages, you can record memos
for other users of your phone. If the answering machine memory is full, the
base display shows <FF> and you will have to delete some messages
before any new ones can be recorded.
Some answering machine functions can be operated from the base,
including playing messages and turning the answering machine on or off.
See section "3.3 Overview of the Base" for further details.
The answering machine can also be controlled and set up using the
