Answering system

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 the time you
set (see Recording time on page 21; individual memos can be up to three
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.
At the beginning of messages playback, if the answering system has less
than three minutes of recording time left, the answering system announces,
"Less than three minutes to record." If the memory is full, the answering
system announces, "Memory is full."
If the memory is full, the number of messages and F flash alternately in the
message window, and Memory full appears on the handset screen. You must
delete some messages before recording new ones.

Call screening

Call screening on the telephone base:
If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and the
incoming message can be heard through the telephone base when a call arrives.
You can turn call screening on or off using the handset (see Call screening
setup on page 19). When call screening is off, you can temporarily turn on
the call screening by pressing PLAY/ or VOLUME on the telephone
STOP
base. The call screening will be off for the next incoming call.
If call screening is on and you want to adjust the
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.
If call screening is on and you want to silence the telephone base while it
is recording messages, press PLAY/ on the telephone base. The call
STOP
screening will be on for the next incoming call.
