Answering System for Landline

Answering system for landline

The answering system can answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone.

You can also set the unit to play a greeting message but not to record caller messages by selecting “Greeting only” as the recording time setting (page 62).

Important:

ROnly 1 person can access the answering system (listen to messages, record a greeting message, etc.) at a time.

RWhen callers leave messages, the unit records the day and time of each message. Make sure the date and time have been set correctly (page 16).

RWhen the cellular line only mode is set (page 19), the answering system cannot be used and any messages are not received.

Memory capacity (including your greeting message)

The total recording capacity is about 18 minutes. A maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.

Note:

RWhen message memory becomes full:

–“Messages full” is shown on the handset and base unit display.

–The ANSWER ON/OFF indicator on the base unit flashes rapidly if the answering system is turned on.

–If you use the pre-recorded greeting message, the unit automatically switches to another pre-recorded greeting message asking callers to call again later.

–If you recorded your own greeting message, the same message is still announced to callers even though their messages are not recorded.
