Answering system capacity

You can record up to five new announcements to have different announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.

Auto attendant and general mailbox announcements both require system memory to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to leave more space for messages.

The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available for review until you delete them.

If the system memory is full, the screen displays Message full, and you cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Check remaining system space frequently to keep maintain availability of space for incoming messages.

NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space. You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to Remaining space on page 32.
