ANSWERING MACHINE

Your phone includes a telephone answering machine that records
unanswered calls when it is on. The answering machine can store up to 59
messages within the maximum recording time of approximately 30 minutes
and each message can be up to 3 minutes long. As well as recording
incoming messages, you can record memos for other users of your phone.
When the answering machine is turned ON, calls are answered after the set
RING DELAY and the caller can then leave you a message if ANSWER &
REC is selected, or hear an outgoing announcement if ANSWER ONLY is
selected, but not be able to leave you a message.
When the answering machine is turned OFF, calls are answered after 10
rings and the ANSWER ONLY message is played to the caller and they will
not be able to leave a message.
If the answering machine memory is full, MEMORY FULL! displays on
the Handset and F flashes on the base, and you will have to delete some
messages before any new ones can be recorded.
Some answering machine functions can be operated from the base,
including playing messages and turning the answering machine on or off,
but more functions can be controlled and set up using the handset menu
functions.
