Answering system operation

Message capacity

The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can be up to three minutes depending on the message length set (see Recording time on page 87). The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 11 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing announcements.

Call screening

Call screening at the telephone base:

If the answering system and call screening are on (see Call screening on page 84), the announcement and the incoming message broadcast at the telephone base while the call is answered by the answering system.

Options while a message is being recorded:

•Press /VOL or /VOL on the telephone base to adjust the call screening volume.

•Press PLAY/STOP/ to temporarily silence the call screening.

•Press PLAY/STOP/ to temporarily turn on or off call screening.

Call screening at the handset:

If the answering system is on and your answering system is recording a message, press SCREEN to screen the call on your handset and the screen displays the caller ID information. If you do not subscribe to caller ID service, the handset shows Incoming call.

The call screening setting does not affect the call screening on the handset.

Call intercept

If you want to talk to the person whose message is being recorded, press /HOME/FLASH or on the handset.
