The Answering Machine (continued)

Using Your Answering System

The message counter displays the number of messages stored in memory. If the display flashes, then there are new messages waiting for you. The flashing number represents the number of new messages, not total messages. The phone is designed to play your new messages first. After you play all your new messages, you can then play your old messages.

Note

When the answering system is full, [ ]is displayed on the base, and the system announces “No remaining time”. You should delete some messages so that the system can record new messages. (Refer to “Deleting a message” on page 42.)

Playing your messages

1 Press PLAY/STOP.

The system announces the number of new and old messages and the LED displays the number of new messages. The time and day that each message was received is announced after the message is played, and the message counter displays the number of the current message.

When all new messages have been played, you hear a tone. The system returns to standby.

2 After you have reviewed your new messages, you can play your old messages by again pressing PLAY/STOP. Once you have listened to a new message, it then becomes an old message. The old messages will then be played in the order in which they were received.

Hint

To stop playing your messages, press PLAY/STOP again at any time.
