Answering system

About the answering system

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is 14 minutes. Messages will remain available for replay until you delete them.

When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the number of messages stored will flash in the message counter.

If F is flashing in the message counter, the memory is full. You will have to delete some messages before new ones can be recorded.

To play the answering system messages, press PLAY/STOP. Press VOLUME to adjust the

playback volume when playing messages.
