Using the Mailboxes

The answering machine has 3 mailboxes. Callers using a touch-tone phone can select the mailbox in which to store their message by pressing 1, 2, or 3 on their touch-tone phone. When the caller does not select a mailbox, the answering machine stores the message in mailbox 1.

Setting Up the Answering Machine

Press MENU to access all of the features of the answer machine.

Recording the Outgoing Announcement

The outgoing announcement is the greeting that plays when you receive a call and you are unable to answer the phone. If you do not record a greeting, callers hear a prerecorded announcement.

Note: If you assign different mailboxes to different people, make sure your announcement tells callers to press 1, 2, or 3 on their touch-tone phone to leave their message in the correct mailbox. For example, press 1 to leave a message for Dave, press 2 to leave a message for Mary, press 3 to leave a message for John.
