The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the maximum recording time is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
If the answering system has three minutes of recording time left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback. If the answering system has no time left, it announces, “Memory is full,” before message playback.
If you attempt to turn on the answering system but the memory is low, Less than 3 min to record displays on the cordless handset and telephone base screens.
If you attempt to turn on the answering system but the memory is full, Memory full displays on the cordless handset and telephone base screens. The base also announces, “Memory is full,” then “Calls will not be answered.” The message counter displays the number of messages.

The system provides voice prompts for message playback, recording outgoing announcements and during remote access.
