Turning on the answering function

Note
When the memory is full, you hear five short error beeps and you cannot turn
on the answering function. Erase unnecessary messages (see page 32).
Tips
• The answering machine will automatically answer a call after 10 rings even if
the answering function is off. The answering function will remain on for all
subsequent calls.
• You can also turn on or off the answering function from an outside phone
(see page 36).
When a caller calls
The caller can choose one of the two ways to leave a message:
• 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 messages goes into
MAILBOX 1.
