Setting the Answering System to Answer Calls

Set 1/5/ANN. ONLY to 1 or 5 to select 1 minute or 5 minutes as
the maximum length of incoming messages.
To set the answering system to answer calls, press ON/OFF/
STOP. The MESSAGE indicator turns on.
Note: You can also use a remote phone to set the system to
answer calls (see “Remote Commands” on Page 32).
To set the system so it does not answer calls, turn it off by
pressing
ON/OFF/STOP so the MESSAGE indicator turns off.
When the system answers a call, the outgoing message plays,
then the system beeps and begins recording.
The caller can leave a message of up to 5 minutes in length, de-
pending on the setting of 1/5/ANN. ONLY. After the call (when the
caller hangs up, is silent for more than 7 seconds, or reaches
the maximum message length), the system hangs up and re-
sets to answer the next call. The MESSAGE indicator flashes to
indicate the system recorded a new incoming message.
Notes:
• If the system's memory reaches its maximum capacity
while a caller is leaving a message, the system stops
recording, beeps, says “Sorry, memory is full,” then hangs
up.
• If the system receives a call when its memory is full, it
answers after 10 rings, says “Sorry, memory is full,” waits a
