9 Using the Answer Machine
Your iHome Phone comes with a Digital Answer Machine that is switched on by default to
enable callers to leave you a message when you are unavailable to answer the call.
Callers will be prompted to leave a message or call back later if a call is not answered
after a preset number of rings. Each message can be up to 2 minutes. The total recording
time available for all messages (including the voice prompts) is about 15 minutes.
The Digital Answer Machine can work through remote connection to the DECT as well as
through direct connection when docked.
