Answering system operation
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can be up to three minutes in length (see page 47 to change). The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
When F and number of messages are flashing alternately on the message window and the handsets display Rec mem full, then the memory is full. You cannot turn on the answering system and record new messages until some old messages have been deleted.
New message indication
When there are new answering system messages, the handset displays XX new messages, and the message window on the telephone base flashes.
If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are messages that have not been reviewed.
