Answering system

The KX-TG1837 contains an answering system which can answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone.

Important:

L Only 1 person can access the answering system (listen to messages, record a greeting message, etc.) at a time.

L When callers leave messages, the unit records the day and time of each message. Make sure the date and time have been set (page 14).

Memory capacity

The total recording capacity (including your greeting message and caller messages) is about 20 minutes. A maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.

Note:

L If message memory becomes full, answer on indicator on the base unit flashes rapidly.

Using a prerecorded greeting message

If you erase or do not record your own greeting message, the unit will play a prerecorded greeting message for callers and ask them to leave messages. If the message recording time (page 35) is set to “Greeting Only”, caller messages will not be recorded and the unit will play a different prerecorded greeting message asking callers to call again.
