Listen to, Save & Delete Messages
The system automatically saves your messages until you delete them, and can store approximately 15
minutes of messages, memos, and announcements (up to a maximum of 99 messages). A message
or memo can be up to four minutes long.
The message window will ash to alert you to new, unplayed messages. If all messages have been
reviewed, the number displayed in the window will glow steadily. If the system contains both old and
new messages, it will play only the new messages rst. After all new messages are played, press the
PLAY/STOP to hear all messages.
Before playing a message, the system announces the day and time it was received. While the message
plays, the message window displays the number of the message. After playing the last message in a
mailbox, the system announces “End of messages.” If the system has less than ve minutes of recording
time left, it announces remaining time.
