Operating the base's answering machine
Recording a personal
announcement/advisory message
The base is supplied with pre-recorded
announcements for answer and record
mode and for answer only mode. If a per-
sonal announcement has not been
recorded, the relevant pre-recorded
announcement is used.
For each answering machine you can record
two personal announcements for answer
and record mode and one advisory message
for answer only mode.
Please note
You can use the base to manage the
announcements for all answering
machines with at least one receive con-
nection assigned. A registered handset
can only manage answering machines
that have at least one common receive
connection with the handset.
