Answering system

Answering system overview

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through recording announcements and remote access.

Message capacity

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 approximate recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, the remaining time is announced at the end of messages playback.

If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The number of messages and F flash alternately in the message window, and REC MEM FULL appears on the handset screen. You must delete some messages before recording new ones.

Call screening

If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and the incoming message broadcast at the telephone base when a call arrives.

You can turn call screening on or off using the handset (see

Call screening setup on page 17). When call screening is off, you can temporarily turn on call screening by pressing PLAY/STOP or

VOLUME on the telephone base. Call screening will be off for the next incoming call.

If call screening is on and you want to adjust the playback volume to a comfortable level (1-8) while it is

recording messages, press VOLUME on the telephone base. This volume setting is shared with message playback, so when you play messages at volume 1, they play at a very low volume. If you turn up the volume for playback, the call screening for the next incoming message plays at the same volume level.

If call screening is on and you want to silence the telephone base while it is recording messages, press PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. Call screening will be on for the next incoming call.
