Set your built-in answering
system
The answering system can record and
store up to 99 messages. Each message
can be up to three minutes in length.
The total storage capacity for the
announcement, messages and memos
is approximately 22 minutes. The actual
recording time depends on individual
message characteristics.
If the memory is full, the answering system
announces, “Memory is full,” before
message playback. The device screen
displays Rec mem full in idle mode.
Once the memory is full, you cannot
turn the answering system back on if it
has been turned off, nor can you record
new messages until old ones have been
deleted. Memory full displays if you want
to turn on the answering system on the
handset but there is no memory.
Your answering system allows you to set
your announcement, to save and delete
messages, activate call screening, to set
number of rings before pick up, and to
access remotely.
Turn the answering system on or off
The answering system must be turned on
to answer and record messages.
If you turn off the answering system and
you change any setting in the answering
system setup menu, the answering system
automatically turns on again.
When the answering system is turned
on, the corresponding light on the
telephone base turns on and ANS ON
displays on the handset screen.
