About the answering system

Message capacity

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

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

If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three minutes to record.”

If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,” before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

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

To screen a call at the telephone base:

If the answering system and call screening are on (see Call screening on page 72), the announcement and the incoming message broadcast at the telephone base when a call is answered by the answering system.

•Press q/VOLUME/p on the telephone base to adjust the call screening volume.

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