Message playback

Listen to messages

You can use either a handset or the telephone base to play messages. If there are new messages, the system plays back only the new messages (in chronological order). If there are no new messages, the system plays back all old messages (in chronological order).

When playback begins, the total number of messages is announced. Before each message, you hear the date and time it was received. After the last message, you hear “End of messages.” If the system has less than three minutes of recording time left, you hear “Less than 3 minutes to record.” If the answering system memory is full, you hear “Memory is full.”

notes:

•If the date and time is not set when a message is recorded, the system announces, “Time and date not set” before the message is played. To set the date and time, see Set date/time on page 13.

•Only one handset or the telephone base can access the answering system at a time.

•While a handset is on a call, you cannot play messages.

To listen to messages at the telephone base:

1. Press /play/stop on the telephone base to listen to the messages.

2. The system announces the number of messages, then begins playback. The message sequence is shown on the message window.

3. Press /play/stop to stop the playback.

note: If there are no messages in the answering system, when in Step 1 above, the system announces, “You have no message.”
