message but not to record caller messages by
selecting

”
as the recording
time setting (page 36).

Only 1 person can access the answering
system (listen to messages, record a
greeting message, etc.) at a time.

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).
