Answering system operation
Message playback
On the telephone base, if you have new messages, the telephone plays only the new messages (oldest first). If there are no new messages, the telephone plays back all messages (oldest first).
On the handset, if you have both new and old messages, you can play either new or old messages. The caller ID information displays on the handset screen when you play messages and you can call back the caller.
When playback begins, you hear the total number of messages followed by the day and time of the message. If the time and date are not set, the telephone announces, “Time and date not set.” After the last message, the telephone announces, “End of messages.”
