system answers a call. You can reset the system so you won’t hear the

announcement.

Answering Calls

If you’ve selected Announcement Aor B,callers can press 1or 2during

the announcement to select a mailbox,or they can wait for the beep to

leave a message in Mailbox 1. If the message is longer than three minutes,

or if the caller is silent for more than seven seconds,or if the system runs

out of memory,the system beeps once and hangs up.

If you’ve selected Announcement AO,the system plays to the end of the

announcement,then hangs up.

If the system is off and the phone rings,the call will be answered after 10

rings and the caller will hear “The machine is off.” The system then hangs

up after 15 seconds if it does not receive a remote command. If the system

is on and the memory is full,the call will also be answered after 10 rings,

and the caller will hear “Memory is full.” To turn the system on or off

remotely,see ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION–From Cordless Handset or
