Accessing the Answering System
With the phone in standby, you can access your system from the base or remotely from
any handset. Only 1 handset or the base can access the system at a time.
During remote access;
• The system beeps so you know it's waiting for your
next command.
• You can press the number key shown next to each
command instead of scrolling through the screens.
1. Press MENU/OK and select Messages/Play Messages to
listen to your answering system messages. The LCD
displays CID information for the current message.
2. The LCD also displays actions you can take while the
message is playing. Press the number on the keypad that corresponds to the action
you want to take. If you stop the message, the LCD displays 2:Play instead of 5:Stop.

What it does
Enter a 2-digit PIN so you can access your answering
system from any touch-tone phone (see page 35).
Set the number of rings 6, 9, or 12) before the system
answers. If you have the Ring Time set to Toll Saver, the
system answers after 2 rings if you have new messages
and 4 rings if you don't. (see page 35 for more details).
Set the amount of time (1 or 4 minutes) callers can leave
a message. Choose Announce Only if you don't want the
system to let callers leave a message.
Have the base beep every 15 seconds when you have a
new message. The alert stops after you listen to all your
new messages or if you press any key on the base.
Turn on the call screen feature so you can hear callers as
they leave messages on the base speaker (see page 34).
Turn your answering system on or off. (To turn your system
on or off from the base, just press ON/OFF.)
Record an outgoing greeting (see page 33).
Switch greetings or delete your greeting (see page 33).
