Answering system operation

Message capacity

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. The recording time of each message depends on the message length you set (see Message recording time on page 47). 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.

New message indication

The message window on the telephone base flashes and XX New messages displays on the handset when there are new answering system messages.

If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are messages that have not been reviewed.

Call screening

Call screening at the telephone base:

If the answering system and call screening are on (see Call screening on page 45), the announcement and the incoming message broadcast at the telephone base while the call is answered by the answering system.

Options while a message is being recorded:

•Press /VOL or /VOL on the telephone base to adjust the call screening volume.

•Press /PLAY/STOP to temporarily silence the call screening.

•Press /PLAY/STOP or /VOL to temporarily turn on the call screening if call screening is set to off.

Call screening at the handset:

If the answering system is on and your answering system is recording a message, your handset shows To screen call, press [SELECT]. Press MENU/SELECT to screen the call on your handset and the screen displays the caller ID information. If you do not subscribe to caller ID service, the handset shows Screening...

The call screening setting does not affect the call screening on the handset.
