About the answering system

Your telephone has a digital answering system, including an auto attendant
and voicemail features, to select a desired answering method for incoming
calls. You can have a customized answering system setup for each phone line.
You can manage all voicemail messages of phone line through the general
mailbox feature on the telephone base.
Answering system capacity
You can record up to five new announcements to have different
announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
Auto attendant and voicemail announcements both require system memory
to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to leave
more space for messages.
The answering system can record up to 255 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes.
Messages remain available for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, you cannot record new messages until old ones
have been deleted.
Check Remaining space (see page X) frequently to keep maintain availability
of space for incoming messages.
