About the answering system

Message capacity

Each answering system (mailbox) can record and store up to 99 messages,
depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to
three minutes (see Message recording time on page 131), and the maximum
recording time is approximately 22 minutes. The actual recording time depends
on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay
until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored shows in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left, it
announces, "Less than three minutes to record," before message playback at the
cordless handset or the telephone base. L1) Rec mem low and/or
L2) Rec mem low display on the device screen in idle mode. When you turn
on the answering system at the telephone base, it announces, "Calls will be
answered. Less than three minutes to record."
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, "Memory is full," before
message playback. The device screen displays L1) Rec mem full and/or
L2) 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.

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup procedures
at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and recording
outgoing announcements.

Temporarily turning off the message alert tone

If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every
10 seconds when there are new messages. Pressing any telephone base
key temporarily silences the message alert tone.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.
