Answering System Features

Memory capacity

The total recording capacity (including your greeting message, caller messages, and voice memos) is about 21 minutes. A maximum of 64 messages (including a greeting message) can be recorded.

LIf message memory becomes full:

–Eflashes on the base unit.

–the ANSWER ON indicator flashes rapidly (if the answering system is turned on).

–the unit announces “Memory full” when operating the answering system.

To record additional messages, erase unnecessary messages.

LIf less than 3 minutes of recording time is available, the unit will announce the remaining recording time when operating the answering system.

LMessages are retained even if a power failure occurs. All messages are saved until you erase them. (Flash memory message backup)

LThe total recording capacity may be reduced by the calling party’s background noise.

Note:

LIf message memory becomes full, the unit will automatically switch to the “Greeting only” mode. New messages will not be recorded. If you have recorded your own greeting message, that same greeting message will be announced to callers even though their messages will not be recorded. If you have not recorded your own greeting message, the pre-recorded message used for “Greeting only” mode will be announced to callers (page 58).

Remote operation

Using a touch tone phone, you can call your phone number from outside and access the unit to listen to messages. The unit’s voice guidance will prompt you to press certain dial keys to perform different operations.

LIn order to operate the answering system remotely, you must first set a remote code (page 64). This code must be entered each time you operate the answering system remotely.

LIf the ring count is set to “Toll saver” (page 64), the number of rings you hear will indicate whether or not you have new messages.

2 After the greeting message starts, enter your remote code.

LThe unit will announce the number of new messages, and will play back the new messages.

3 After 3 seconds, the voice guidance will start. Follow the voice guidance as necessary.

4 When finished, hang up.
