ing system is on, the red light on the ANSWER ON key
should be lit.
• If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to
two when there are new messages waiting (page �2).
• If the memory is full or if the answering system is off, the
system will answer after ten rings. If the memory is full,
you need to delete some old messages in order to make
room for new messages.
• In some cases, the answering system may be affected by
the ringing system used by the local telephone company.

minutes, for each message, the system will disconnect and
part of the message may be lost.
• If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the sys-
tem stops recording and disconnects the call.

• The answering system may not detect the remote access
code when your announcement is playing. Wait until the
announcement is over before entering the code.
