Setting the Phone to Answer Calls

ANN (announcement only) — The phone plays the outgoing message but does not let callers leave a message.

To set the phone to answer calls, re- peatedly press MSG LINE SELECT until the line indicator for the desired line lights in the message counter window, then press ANSWER. If the phone is set to record a caller’s message (see “Set- ting the Record Time” on Page 22), it plays the outgoing message and shows the number of recorded messages. If the phone is set to announcement-only, it plays the outgoing message, and A ap- pears.

Note: If the incoming message memory is full, the phone announces, “No re- maining time.”

To set the phone to not answer calls, press MSG LINE SELECT so the line indi- cator for the desired line lights in the message counter window, then press ANSWER. The phone announces “An- swer off” and the message counter turns off.

SCREENING CALLS

You can let the phone answer calls for you while you listen to the caller’s mes- sage through the base’s speaker. If you decide to answer the call, press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on either the base or the hand- set to answer. You can also pick up any phone on the same line. The phone stops recording and resets to answer the next call.

Note: When you receive a call on one line while you are using the speaker- phone on the other line, the call screen- ing function does not operate.

RECORDING INCOMING MESSAGES

After the phone answers a call, it plays the outgoing message, beeps, and records the caller’s message.

Each incoming message can be up to 1 or 4 minutes long, depending on how you set REC TIME (see “Setting the Record Time” on Page 22). The phone’s maximum recording capacity for both lines is 25 minutes or 59 messages.

Note: When the phone receives a call on one line while it is answering on the other, it answers the new call after re- cording the first call.

The phone stops recording and resets to answer the next call when:

•the caller hangs up

•the maximum message length is reached

•the phone detects a busy signal or more than 7 seconds of silence

•you pick up the call on any phone on the same phone line

Note: When the phone’s message memory is full, FL appears on both message counters and the phone an- nounces “No remaining time” when you try to operate it.
