Answering system operation
Message playback
To listen to messages
You can use either a handset or the telephone base to play messages. If there are new messages, the system plays back only the new messages (oldest first). If there are no new messages, the system plays back all old messages (oldest first).
When playback begins, the total number of messages is announced. Before each message, you hear the day and time it was received. After the last message, you hear “End of messages.” If the system has less than three minutes of recording time left, you hear the remaining time. If the memory of the answering system is full, you hear “Memory is full.”
NOTES:
•If the date and time is not set when a message is recorded, the system announces, “Time and date not set” before the message is played. To set the date and time, see Set date/time on page 13.
