Answering system
The answering system can answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone.
Important:
LOnly 1 person can access the answering system (listen to messages, record a greeting message, etc.) 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 15).
