Incoming messages
If this 1080 telephone is not set up as an auto
attendant, it will store only private messages.
If this 1080 phone is an auto attendant, it can store
three kinds of messages in three separate lists:
• Private messages (including incoming messages,
memos and two-way conversations) are the
messages recorded for the 1080 telephone itself
(pages 73-76).
• Central messages are the incoming messages
recorded for the auto attendant system (pages
79-80). When a call is answered by an auto
attendant, the caller presses [9] to record these
messages.
• System extension messages are the messages
recorded for individual 1070 and 1040
telephones that are associated with this
set’s auto attendant mailbox. For more details to
play system extension messages, refer to 1070
or 1040 user’s manual.
It is necessary to playback or delete each list separately.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to around
sixty minutes of messages, or up to 99 messages,
depending on the length of each message. Individual
messages can be limited if MESSAGE L ENGTH
is set to one minute, or they can be as long as
the remaining memory (page 68). If the memory
is full, the message counter DTAD: XX/YY will
flash on the idle screen. Messages will remain
available for replay until you delete them.
To find out how much record time remains:
1. Press [DTAD].
2. Press [ ] or [ ] until you see RECORD TIME. Press
[ENTER].
3. The screen will show the remaining record time.
4. Press [DTAD] to exit the menu.
