Preparing the Answering System

Greeting Message Base Unit

You can record a personal greeting message of up to 2 minutes. If you do not record your own message, one of two pre-recorded greetings will be played for callers (p. 25).

The total recording time of all messages (greeting, incoming and memo) is about 16 minutes. We recommend you record a brief greeting message in order to leave more time for recording new messages.

•You can use the enhanced recording mode for clearer sound, if necessary (p. 28).
