You will need to set the date and
time (if you have not already done
so) so that you will know when each
message was received. If you have
subscribed to your network's Caller
Display service, the date and time is
set automatically when you receive
your first call. To set the date and time
manually, see page 8.
Your BT3710 answering machine
has voice prompts to help you use its
settings and features.
The default is set to on so it's ready to
record messages as soon as the base
is plugged in. Make sure you charge
the handset for at least 24 hours first
though before use.
