Mailbox usage
This phone offers you three voice mailboxes, providing a convenient
way to share the mailbox feature with other members of your
household or business.
When a caller calls
The caller can choose one of the two ways to leave a message:
• If calling from a touch-tone phone, the caller select a mailbox by
pressing (*)(1) (MAILBOX 1), (*)(2) (MAILBOX 2) or (*)(3)
(MAILBOX 3) while the caller hears the greeting. The greeting stops
and a beep will sound, then the caller can start recording a message.
• Wait until the greeting finishes, then start recording a message.
When the caller does not select a mailbox, the message is
automatically recorded to MAILBOX 1.
Notes
• If four minutes have passed while recording the incoming message, the line
will be disconnected automatically.
• If the message is shorter than two seconds, it will not be recorded.

the answering function is off and announces "Please enter your security code"
to prompt the caller to turn on the answering function.
When the memory is full
The total recording time of this answering machine is approximately
15 minutes (including the greeting, messages, and memo).
When the remaining recording time becomes less than 30 seconds, "F"
flashes on the display and the answering machine goes into the
memory full status.
In this status, the answering machine will not answer a call until after
10 rings even if the answering function is on.
To avoid this, erase unnecessary messages (see page 55). You can also
erase the messages from an outside phone (see page 60).
