When the reception mode is set to ANS., the FO-475 will answer incoming calls after two rings if it has received at least one incoming message, or after four rings if no messages have been received. (For more information, see Toll Saver in Remote Operations in this chapter.)

Note: If the memory is full from messages previously recorded, MEMORY IS FULL will appear in the display. To set the reception mode to ANS., you must first erase some or all of the stored messages.

Note: In ANS. mode, the machine will automatically switch to fax reception if it detects a period of silence longer than six seconds after answering a call. For this reason, if a caller pauses for this length of time while leaving a message, they will be cut off and hear fax reception tones.
