Answering System
Answering system
This unit contains an answering system which can answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone.
Important:
LOnly 1 person can access the answering system at a time.
LWhen callers leave messages, the unit records the day and time of each message. Make sure the date and time have been correctly set (page 14).
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including your greeting message and voice memo) is about 18 minutes.
A maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.
LIf the message memory becomes full, the ANSWER ON indicator flashes rapidly (if the answering system is turned on). Erase unnecessary messages (page 31).
LWhen the message memory becomes full, the greeting message is different depending on your situation:
–If you use the prerecorded greeting message, the unit automatically switches to another prerecorded greeting message asking callers to call again later.
–If you recorded your own greeting message, the same message is still announced to callers even though their messages are not recorded.
