• The system can accept messages of up to three minutes.
• If a caller leaves a long message, part of it might be lost
when the system disconnects the call after three minutes.
• If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the
system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system's memory fills up when recording a message,
the system stops and disconnects the call.
• If the toll saver feature is on, the number of rings changes
from four to two, or six to four, when there are new
messages waiting.
• In some cases, the system might be affected by the
ringing system used by the local telephone company.
• If the system's memory is full or the system is off, the
system answers after 10 rings. If the set is in feature setup
mode and a call comes in, the set will not answer the
call until you press PLAY/STOP or the setup timeout has
elapsed.
• When the memory is full, some saved messages must be
deleted before new messages can be recorded.
• Press VOLUME until the desired volume is reached.
