Answering system features (overview)

The hub features a built-in answering system that can answer calls received on your landline after a
certain number of rings. When it answers a call, it plays a greeting message and can then record caller
messages. Messages are stored in the hub, and you can play them back even when you are away from
home. The answering system cannot answer calls when you are already talking on the landline.
Note:
R In order for the answering system to answer calls, the hub must be connected to your landline. For
information about phone line connection, refer to the System Setup Guide included with your hub.
R In order to access the answering system using the app, your mobile device must be connected to the
same wireless network as the hub. These features are not available when using the app away from
home.
Recording capacity
A maximum of 64 messages can be recorded. The total recording capacity varies by model, from 30–
40 minutes.
Note:
R The following occur if the recording memory becomes full.
– A beep will sound.
– A memory full announcement will be heard.
– If you use a pre-recorded greeting message, the hub will answer calls with a different pre-recorded
message that asks callers to call again later. (If you have recorded your own greeting message, it
will continue to be played for callers.) No new messages will be recorded.
