User's Manual

Your Telstra 5200a can digitally record up to 11 minutes of messages,
with each message lasting a maximum of 3 minutes. As well as recording
incoming messages, you can record memos for other users.
You can operate your Telstra 5200a from:
● the base unit;
● remotely from most tone dialling telephones.
Your Telstra 5200a comes with two pre-recorded outgoing messages,
Answer and Record or Answer Only, but if you wish you can record your
own.
You will need to set the day and time (if you have not already done so) so
that you will know when each message was received, see page 6.
