Operating the base's
answering machine
You can operate the answering machine that
is integrated into the base using the keys on
the base
, via a registered hand-
set or by remote operation (other phone/
mobile). You can only record own announce-
ment message or advisory message via the
base or a handset.
The base has three answering machines
(AM1, AM2, AM3), which can be activated
and used independently of each other.
Once the base has been set up, AM1 is acti-
vated and all base connections (lines) are
assigned to it as receive connections.
AM2 and AM3 are available once you have
assigned at least one receive connection to
them.
Each answering machine only receives calls
that are directed to its receive connections.
Each answering machine can only be oper-
ated via the end devices (base/handsets) to
which at least one of the machine's receive
connections is assigned.
Assigning receive connections
Prerequisite:
At least two connections have
been configured on your base.

Parallel calls
If a caller is connected to an answering

answering machine, the second caller will
hear the dialling tone. The call is signalled to
the devices (base, handsets) to which the
receive connection is assigned.
If the second call is not accepted, the
answering machine will accept this call if:
u
The connection with the first caller has
ended and
u
The set time period for the answering
machine to answer a call
has expired.
Answering machine mode
You can use two different modes for each of
the three answering machines.
u
In
Answer & Record
mode, the caller
hears the announcement and can then
leave a message.
u
In
Answer only
mode, the caller hears
your announcement but cannot leave a
message.
Please note
If an answering machine is to accept calls
via the GSM connection on your mobile,
which itself is connected to the tele-
phone via Bluetooth, you must select the
GSM connection as the receive connec-
tion. The name of the mobile is displayed
for the GSM connection in the list of
known devices.
The times set for ring delay on the
mobile mailbox and answering machine
determine which of these will accept
calls.
