fourth line to ring as a private direct line to a single extension by excluding
all others in the Ring group (page 17).
Line 1: Auto attendant (2 rings)

Answering system capacity

You can record up to five new announcements to have different
announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
The announcements of auto attendant, general mailbox and announce only
answer mode all require system memory to record, so we suggest recording
brief announcements in order to leave more space for messages.
The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available
for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, the screen displays Message full, and you
cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Check
remaining system space frequently to maintain availability of space for
incoming messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt "Memory is full." Please refer to
Remaining space on page 38.
