Turning the Answering System On or Off
You can perform the operations described below using the cordless handset. However, this feature is probably most useful if you call your home or office from another touch tone phone and find that the system doesn’t answer even after four rings.
1.Establish a connection with the base, either by pressing ANS SYS on the cordless handset, or by dialing your phone number. Even if AUTO ANSWER is OFF, the system will answer after 10 rings and announce “The machine is off” (as long as it is connected to AC power). The system will beep twice to indicate it is ready to accept the remote access code. Enter your code.
2.You can change the status by pressing # (CHANGE), waiting for the
When the Memory Is Full
If the memory is full, the system will announce “Memory is full.” Once a connection to the base has been established, you can listen to messages, then delete them so the system will begin taking calls again.
Press 1 (ALL MSG) to listen to all of your messages, or 2 (NEW MSG) to listen to your new messages. You can selectively delete a message by pressing 3 (DELETE) while that message is being played. Remember that you can also use 6 (FORWARD) to skip over any messages that you’ve already heard. When the system has played all messages it will announce “End of messages” and beep twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a command. At this time, press 3 (DELETE), then 1 to delete all messages in Mailbox 1, or 3 (DELETE), then 2 to delete all messages in Mailbox 2.

About the Handset Batteries
The handset of your cordless telephone is powered by rechargeable batteries. The patented
The batteries charge automatically whenever the handset is in the base. If you usually leave the handset in the base between calls, that’s enough to keep the batteries charged. But if you keep the handset out of the base for long periods, you will need to charge the batteries about every seven days by leaving the handset in the base overnight (about 10 hours).
You’ll know the batteries need changing when:
•The phone beeps four times when you press the PHONE, ANS SYS, or INTCM buttons.
•The LO BATT Light on the handset flashes or stays on steadily.
•The phone does not respond when you press PHONE at the handset, and none of the lights go on.
Charging the Handset Batteries
Place the handset in the base. The CHARGING Light on the base will light to show the handset is seated properly and the batteries are charging. They will be fully charged in 10 hours. You can use your telephone before that, but it’s best to let the batteries charge fully. Once the batteries are fully charged, you need only put the handset in the base when the LO BATT Light flashes.
If it’s more convenient for you to do so, you can leave the handset in the base all the time. It is impossible to overcharge the batteries.
