Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including 
your greeting message, caller messages, 
and voice memos) is about 21 minutes. A 
maximum of 64 messages (including a 
greeting message) can be recorded.
L
If message memory becomes full:
– E flashes on the base unit.
– the ANSWER ON indicator flashes 
rapidly (if the answering system is 
turned on).
– the unit announces “Memory full” 
when operating the answering 
system.
To record additional messages, erase 
unnecessary messages.
L
If less than 3 minutes of recording time is 
available, the unit will announce the 
remaining recording time when 
operating the answering system.
L
Messages are retained even if a power 
failure occurs. All messages are saved 
until you erase them. (Flash memory 
message backup)
L
The total recording capacity may be 
reduced by the calling party’s 
background noise.
Note:
L
If message memory becomes full, the 
unit will automatically switch to the 
Greeting only” mode. New 
messages will not be recorded. If you 
have recorded your own greeting 
message, that same greeting message 
will be announced to callers even though 
their messages will not be recorded. If 
you have not recorded your own 
greeting message, the pre-recorded 
message used for “Greeting only” 
mode will be announced to callers (page 
61).
