Answering system
Answering system overview
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through recording
announcements and remote access.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. The maximum recording time is 14 minutes and
the individual messages recording time can be set to 3 minutes, 2 minutes
and 1 minute. The actual recording time depends on individual message
characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time
left, “Less than 3 minutes to record” is announced at the end of messages
playback.
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.”
The number of messages and F flash alternatively in the message window,
and REC MEM FULL appears on the handset screen. You must delete some
messages before recording new ones.
Call screening
If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and
the incoming message broadcast at both telephone base
and handset when a call arrives.
Call screening at base:
You can turn off call screening on or off using the
handset (see Call screening setup on page 41). When
call screening is off, you can temporarily turn on the call
screening by pressing
PLAY/STOP or VOLUME on the telephone base.
The call screening will be off for the next incoming call.
If call screening is on and you want to adjust the playback volume to a
comfortable level (1-8) while it is recording messages, press VOLUME on
the telephone base. This volume setting is shared with message playback,
so when you play messages at volume 1, they play at a very low volume. If
you turn up the volume for playback, the call screening for the next incoming
message plays at the same volume level.
If call screening is on and you want to silence the telephone base while it
is recording messages, press
PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. The call
screening will be on for the next incoming call.
