Answering system setup

Use the answering system menu of a system handset to turn on or off the answering system or message alert tone, set up the announcement message, activate the call screening, or change the number of rings, remote access code and message recording time.

You can turn the answering system on or off from either the handset or the telephone base, but you can only use the handset to change other answering system settings.

Answer on/off

The answering system must be turned on to answer and record messages.

When the answering system is turned on, the

/ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base turns on and ANS ON displays on the handset.

To turn on or off with the telephone base:

Press /ANS ON/OFF to turn the built-in answering system on or off. When the answering system is turned on, it announces, “Calls will be answered.” When the answering system is turned off, it announces, “Calls will not be answered.”

To turn on or off with the handset:

1. Press MENU/SELECT when the handset is not in use.
