You can set up your answering system’s features from the base or handset with the exception of changing the
outgoing message or greeting; you can only change the greeting or record a new greeting from the base. Only one
station at a time can access the answering system menus.
Recording a Personal Greeting
Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a
call: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” You can record your own

after the announcement. The message counter on the base LCD displays “30”, and then begins to count down.

again or press
[

. You will hear a confirmation tone, and
your recorded greeting plays back for you.

also switch back and forth between the pre-recorded greeting and your own greeting at any time.
