Using the network mailbox Using the network mailbox Some providers offer answering machines on the network – network mailboxes. You should set up network mailboxes for your fixed line connection and for each of your VoIP connections. You must save the phone number for these network mailboxes in your phone. You need to request the network mailbox for your fixed line connection from your network provider.
Using the network mailbox Configuring a network mailbox for fast access With fast access you can dial a network mailbox directly. Assigning key 1, changing assignment Fast access settings are handset-specific. You can assign a different network mail- box to key 1 on each registered handset. No network mailbox is preconfigured for fast access in the default settings.
Page 94
Using the network mailbox Calling the network mailbox With the message key Under the message key f you will find a list for each network mailbox that fulfils the following prerequisites: The corresponding connections are assigned to the handset as receive connec- tions.
ECO DECT ECO DECT ECO DECT indicates low energy consumption and reduced transmission power. Reduced transmission power (radiation) In normal operation mode (factory setting): On delivery, the device is set to maximum range. This guarantees optimised wire- less management. The handset does not emit a signal in idle status (no radiation). Only the base ensures contact with the handset is maintained through low- strength wireless signals.
Page 96
ECO DECT Please note To benefit from Eco Mode+, all registered handsets must support this func- tion. The wireless connection is established automatically for incoming or outgo- ing calls only. This causes a connection delay of approx. 2 seconds. Handsets need to "listen in" to the base, i.e., scan the surrounding area, on a regular basis to enable them to establish a connection to the base quickly in the event of an incoming call.
Using the handset as an alarm clock Using the handset as an alarm clock Prerequisite: The date and time have already been set (page 34).
