Answering system overview

voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through recording
announcements and remote access.

message capacity

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and
the approximate recording time is 14 minutes. The actual recording time
depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for
replay until you delete them.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time left,
the remaining time is announced at the end of messages playback.
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, "Memory is full."

and REC mEm FULL appears on the handset screen. You must delete some
messages before recording new ones.

Call screening

If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and the
incoming message broadcast at the telephone base when a call arrives.
You can turn call screening on or off using the handset

screening is off, you can temporarily turn on the call
screening by pressing PLAy/ or voLUmE on

next incoming call.

playback volume to a comfortable level (1-8) while it is recording messages,
press voLUmE on the telephone base. This volume setting is shared with
message playback, so when you play messages at volume 1, they play at a
very low volume. If you turn up the volume for playback, the call screening for
the next incoming message plays at the same volume level.
