7. Answering Machine

7.1 Mailbox features

This unit provides 3 mailboxes (mailbox 1, 2, 3) for recording voice messages. Callers using a touch tone phone can leave a message in a specific mailbox by entering a mailbox number. Callers who use rotary phones or do not specify a mailbox can leave messages in mailbox 1. Also, passwords can be assigned to mailboxes 2 and 3. This is useful if you share the unit with other people, because only the person who knows the mailbox password can listen to messages in a mailbox.

7.1.1 To use a mailbox

1Record your TAM/FAX greeting message (page 61).

2Program a password for mailbox 2 or 3, if necessary.
