Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your 

voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six 

rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail 

providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead 

of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the 

appropriate setting. 

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each 

message can be up to three minutes in length. The total storage capacity 

for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. 

The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. 

Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, 

the number of messages stored flashes in the message counter.

If the answering system has three minutes of recording time left, it 

announces, 

“Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback 

at the handset or the telephone base. If the memory is low, 

Rec mem low 

displays on the handset screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering 

system at the telephone base, it announces, 

If the memory is full, the answering system announces, 

“Memory is full,” 

before message playback. The handset screen displays 

Rec mem full in idle 

mode and the number of messages and 

F flash alternately in the message 

counter at the telephone base. You cannot turn on the answering system 

and record new messages until old ones have been deleted. 

Memory full 

displays if you want to turn on the answering system on the handset but there 

is no memory.

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup 

procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and 

recording outgoing announcements.
