Answering System
Answering system
This unit contains an answering system
which can answer and record calls for
you when you are unavailable to
answer the phone.
Important:
L Only 1 person can access the
answering system at a time.
L When callers leave messages, the
unit records the day and time of each
message. Make sure the date and
time have been correctly set (page
13).
L The unit's answering system will not
answer incoming calls on your
FaxAbility number.
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including
your greeting message) is about 16
minutes.
A maximum of 64 messages can be
recorded.
L If the message memory becomes full,
the ANSWER ON indicator flashes
rapidly (if the answering system is
turned on). Erase unnecessary
messages (page 29).
L When the message memory
becomes full, the greeting message is
different depending on your situation:
– If you use the prerecorded greeting
message, the unit automatically
switches to another prerecorded
greeting message asking callers to
call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting
message, the same message is still
announced to callers even though
their messages are not recorded.
