Answering System

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. Select “Greeting 
Only”
 as the recording time setting 
(page 44).
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 
17).
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:
– “Answer Sys. Full” is shown 
on the 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.
