Answering system overview
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you to operate the answering system.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length of each message. The maximum recording time (including message, announcement and memo) is 11 minutes and the recording time for individual messages can be set to 3 minutes, 2 minutes or 1 minute (page
43). The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, “Less than 3 minutes to record” is announced before the message playback and rec mem low appears on the handset screen.
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The number of messages and f flash alternatively in the message window, and rec mem full appears on the handset screen. You must delete some messages before recording new ones.
