After playing your announcement and sounding a beep, the system records your caller's message; it stops
when the caller hangs up or is silent for more than 7 seconds. Messages can be up to 2 minutes long. The
system can store up to 10 minutes of announcements and incoming messages.
Callers can press * to bypass the announcement after it begins.

The Message Window displays the total number of messages (up to 9). If the Message Window is blank,
the system is off and will not record messages.

You can set the system to beep every 15 seconds to notify you when new messages have been received. Set
the MESSAGE ALERT switch on the right side of the unit to ON.
