If you have new messages on either line, the /PLAY/STOP indicator for that line flashes. The /PLAY/STOP indicator turns off after you listen to the new messages.

If the date and time are not set, the answering system announces, “Time and day not set,” before each message (see Date and time on page 16). The telephone plays only the new messages (oldest first). If there are no new messages, the system plays back all the messages (oldest first).

After the last message, you hear “End of messages.” If the system has less than three minutes of recording time left, you hear, “Less than three minutes to record.” When the answering system has no recording time left, it announces, “Memory is full.”
