Mailbox usage

This phone offers you three voice mailboxes, providing a convenient way to share the mailbox feature with other members of your household or business.

When a caller calls

The caller can choose one of the two ways to leave a message:

•If calling from a touch-tone phone, the caller select a mailbox by pressing 1

(MAILBOX 1), 2 (MAILBOX 2) or 3 (MAILBOX 3) while the caller hears the greeting. The greeting stops and a beep will sound, then the caller can start recording a message.

•Wait until the greeting finishes, then start recording a message. When the caller does not select a mailbox, the message is automatically recorded to MAILBOX 1.

Notes

•If four minutes have passed while recording the incoming message, the line will be disconnected automatically.

•If the message is shorter than two seconds, it will not be recorded.

Tip

Even if a power interruption occurs, the incoming messages are not erased.

To turn off the answering function

Press ANSWER ON/OFF on the base phone.

The ANSWER ON/OFF button goes off. “Answering function is off” is announced.

The answering function is preset to on.

Tips

•The answering machine will automatically answer a call after 10 rings, even if the answering function is off and announces greeting message to prompt the caller to turn on the answering function.

•You can also turn on or off the answering function from an outside phone, see “Operating from an outside phone” on page 46.
