The Answering Machine

The phone has a built-in answering system that answers and records incoming calls. You can also use your answering system to record a conversation, leave a voice memo message for others who use the phone, or to announce a special message to callers when you’re away from your phone.

•Voice Prompt for Guidance (Bilingual Announcement Option)

•Time and Day Announcement

•Remote Message Retrieval

•Toll Saver

Digital Tapeless Recording allows you to quickly review, save, or delete the messages you choose. You will never have to worry about a tape wearing out, jamming, or resetting improperly.

The Integrated Answering System is easy and convenient to use, but please read through all of the instructions carefully.
