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.

You can enter data as follows:
For each configured connection and the 
Gigaset.net connection, an entry Receive 
calls for xxx 
(xxx = name of connection) is 
displayed.
Make the following setting for every config-
ured base connection.

Select 
Yes if the answering machine 
should accept calls made on the connec-
tion in question. 
If the connection is already assigned to 
another answering machine as a receive 
connection, you cannot select Yes.
Select No, if the receive connection 
should not be assigned to this answering 
machine. 
Parallel calls
If a caller is connected to an answering 
machine and a second calls comes in for this 
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.
