Answering system
The answering system can answer and record
calls for you when you are unavailable to answer
the phone.
You can also set the unit to play a greeting
message but not to record caller messages by
selecting
“
Greeting Only
”
as the recording
time setting (page 35).
Important:
L
Only 1 person can access the answering system
(listen to messages, record a greeting message,
etc.) at a time.
L
When callers leave messages, the unit records
the day and time of each message. Make sure
the date and time have been set correctly (page
14).
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including your
greeting message) is about 17 minutes. A
maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.
Note:
L
If message memory becomes full:
–
“
Messages Full
”
is shown on the base unit
and handset display.
– The answer on indicator on the base unit
flashes rapidly when the answering system is
turned on.
L
When the message memory becomes full:
– If you use the pre-recorded greeting
message, the unit automatically switches to
another pre-recorded greeting message
asking callers to call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting message,
the same message is still announced to
callers even though their messages are not
recorded.
