Setting up your answering machine
Your Telstra 5600a can digitally record up to 13 minutes of messages,
with each message lasting a maximum of 3 minutes. As well as recording
incomings messages, you can record memos for other users. The 5600a uses
voice prompts to guide you simply through its operation. You can operate
your answering machine from the base unit or remotely, from any tone
dialling telephone, see page 47.
Your 5600a answering machine comes with two pre-recorded outgoing
messages: 'Answer and Record' or 'Answer Only. However, you can record
your own if you wish.
You will need to set the day and time (if you have not already done so) so
that you will know when each message was received, see page 8.
