L If the message memory becomes full,
the unit automatically switches to the
"Greeting only" mode and no new
messages are recorded. If you have
recorded your own greeting message,
that same greeting message is
announced to callers even though their
messages are not recorded. If you have
not recorded your own greeting
message, the prerecorded message
used for "Greeting only" mode is
announced to callers (page 54).
L "Greeting only" cannot be set by
scrolling through the display menus
(page 40).

You can select whether or not the
message indicator on the handset slowly
flashes blue when new messages are
