Answerer On/Off

There are several ways to activate/deactivate the answerer; press the ANSWERER ON/OFF button on the base, use the “Answerer” menu on the base, or use the “Remote Access” from the handset or another phone (refer to respective sections for more information.

Mailbox Indicator

There are indicator lights under each mailbox buttons (PLAY STOP 1/PLAY STOP 2/ PLAY STOP 3), which inform you of whether the messages for each individual mailbox are new or old.

•Mailbox button/indicator is on -- there are stored messages.

•Mailbox button/indicator is off -- no messages in that mailbox.

•Mailbox button/indicator is flashing – there are new messages.

Leaving a Message

1.After the answerer answers the incoming call and plays the outgoing announcement, the caller can enter the mailbox number (1, 2 or 3) while the announcement is playing or within the 2 seconds after the end of announcement and then leave a message in that specific mailbox.

2.If there is no entry of mailbox number during that period, then your message will be left in the default mailbox 1.

Screening Calls from the Base

1.When the answering system answers the call, listen while the caller leaves a message (to determine who is calling).

2.To speak to the caller, pick up the handset and press the TALK or SPKR button or press the SPEAKER button on the base.

The answering system automatically stops recording when you activate the handset or pick up an extension phone.

TIP: Make sure the volume on the base is set loud enough to hear your incoming calls.

Memory Full

When the answering system memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings. You should erase some messages so the answering system may record new messages.
